The Festival of Floating Boats of Light (Boun Lai Heua Fai) in the northern Lao world heritage town of Luang Prabang was held on Tuesday.
People adorned the city with lanterns, and paraded with and later floated large dragon boats and small"boats" made from banana trees carrying flowers, incense and candles down the Mekong River, to let the diseases and bad luck drift away and good luck flow in.
