Khoom Fay are established Thai lanterns, with a bamboo frame extended by thin tissue paper. A flaming cell connected to the lantern offers hot airThe graciously rise, and produce a great spectacle, particularly when discharged at constant time intervals to form a chain of sparks rising into the sky. Night or day they genuinely make an affect. Night releases seem more suited to the classic white lanterns whilst Colour imparts itself nicely to Thai Lanterns discharged in the day but that is just my own individual view.Without tearing the paper cautiously unpack the Lantern. Ensure the lantern is fully extended, and not creased or falling sideways. This is greatest complete by taking the top of the lantern, raising it a few feet lightly, then crisply dropping it. Air force will expand the unit.Have a supporter light the wick whilst you hold the lantern upright. After a few seconds the lantern will feel lighter, then gradually arise. Just guide it and let it go by itself, do not attempt to throw it up into the air. Now unwind and enjoy the showExperienced pyrotechnic operators are whom these lanterns are meant for. Don mitts and fire-proof clothing, and have on standby a bucket of water.
