The colors of Loi Protip
The boat decorated with lotus flowers and water lantern models is the highlight of the ceremony Loi Protip. This is releasing water lantern on Maspero river (Soctrang), a unique cultural activity of Khmer Buddhists, part of the Khmer people's Ok-Om-Bok festival Mekong Delta, Vietnam on November 6, 2022; festival meaning brought favorable rain and wind, wished for everyone's blessings, healthy, and bountiful crops. I went to the festival, was impressed with the scene of the boat and was allowed to take pictures by the craftsman who was editing the lotus in the night. I stand on the bank taking pictures in the river
