Sky Lanterns were originally used hundreds of years ago as signaling devices by the military, as the omitted light from the sky lantern can be seen from miles around. More recently they are used for celebrations and other special occasions, one festival in particular in which sky lanterns or khom loy (their Thai name) are used is the famous Loy Krathong festival in Thailand. Folklore has it that the lanterns carry away with them bad spirits and misfortune high into the sky and far away leaving behind only good luck and fortune for the releaser. Over the past several years they have become more and more popular due to tourists visiting Thailand and seeing them in action as well as films such as "The Beach".
