Nakhon Phanom Illuminated Boat Procession (Huea Fai) (งานประเพณีไหลเรือไฟนครพนม)
The city of Nakhon Phanom is a little over an hours drive from Sakon Nakhon on the Mekong river.
Their most renown festival is the annual Illuminated Boat Procession.
A version of this celebration has been around since ancient times, when decorated rafts laden with offerings and candles were floated down the river.
Over time these rafts increased in size and today are large barges.
From the distance these barges look more like a neon display.
In reality they are thousands of oil lamps.
