Fireflights - Koh Phangan, Thailand

 


Fireflights, Koh Phangan, Thailand
The best I can do freestanding without exposure control.
There's this game where they tie baloons to four contestants ankles and have them jump around trying to pop eachothers baloons. The last one with a baloon wins their pride, just barely.

Fire is a big part of everything. Locals throw it at you on sticks, sticks attached to string, and string attached to balls. Arks and points of flame stream across the horizon, and the cool part is that when they need more highly flammable substance to burn, they just dip their impliments into open buckets of the stuff, strattled by the crowd. I gave it solid 50/50 that at least one tourist would accidently drop a ciggarette into the mix and add to the merriment of the evening. The way things run here, I doubt anyone would bother putting them out. They'd simply ask, "hey man, you O.K.", and then point to the ocean and say, "Not that we're telling you how to live your life or anything man, I mean, what you're doing is cool, but you might want to take it easy for a while, you know, save some for later. Why don't you go for a swim, it might make you feel better." at which point they would watch him collapse to the ground and concernadly say, "That guy's in bad shape, who's his friend? Maybe we should get some hel- BANANAS- oh my God I love this song." And the stomping of their feet would kick up just enough sand to put him out.
