Khoom Fay are traditional Thai lanterns, made from cut tissue paper with a bamboo skeleton. A flaming cell tied to the lantern offers hot airThey ascend gracefully, and are an dramatic sight, peculiarly when discharged at constant intervals to form a chain of lights rise into the sky. They are equally prestigious by daylight or by night. For Day releases I feel that the coloured lanterns are to a greater extent striking and the night becomes a bright white glowing Thai Lantern but that is just my own individual view.Carefully take out the Thai Lantern, without tearing the delicate paper. Ensure the lantern is fully extended, and not wrinkled or hanging sideways. This is greatest complete by taking the top of the lantern, raising it a few feet softly, then crisply dropping it. Air pressure will blow up the unit.Have a supporter light the wick whilst you declare the lantern upright. After a few seconds the lantern will feel lighter, then rise gradually. Just point it and let it go by itself, do not attempt to throw it up into the air. Then stand back and relish.These lanterns are thought for use by experienced pyrotechnic operators. Don mitts and fire-proof clothing, and have on standby a bucket of H2O.
