Thailand - November 05, 2025 Video recorded by X user @kousa_photo shows thousands of glowing sky lanterns lifting into the dark sky during the Yi Peng Lantern Festival, forming a striking display of light. The event took place on November 5–6, 2025, as part of the Loi Krathong celebration, a Thai tradition that represents letting go of misfortune while expressing wishes for future prosperity. Its meaning carries deep cultural and spiritual weight for the Lanna people, highlighting shared identity and longstanding customs. The 2025 gathering was revised to align with the national mourning period following the passing of Her Majesty Queen Sirikit, The Queen Mother of Thailand, on October 24, 2025. All activities followed a theme of remembrance and gratitude. The timing of the video’s release also aligns with a trend in which images of rising lanterns are compared to the rise of Bitcoin, echoing ideas of hope, decentralized progress, and collective ambition.
