A tourist joined in releasing lanterns during the spectacular festival in Thailand.

The Chinese holidaymaker, along with thousands of participants, launched glowing lanterns into the evening sky during the Yi Peng Lantern Festival on November 16.

Breathtaking footage shows the seemingly excited man extending the paper lantern into the air and releasing it form his grip.

Thousands of lanterns can be seen illuminating the dark sky, floating upwards, carrying the wishes and hopes of the festival-goers.

The Yi Peng Lantern Festival is a religious event in northern Thailand that celebrates the full moon of the second month in the Thai Lanna calendar.

The festival is marked by the release of sky lanterns into the night sky, which are believed to carry away bad luck and make way for good fortune.
