# 63. Release a Khom Fai :)

     If you are not 100% sure what a khom fai is, it is a fire lantern. It is kind of like a hot air balloon.

     They are usually made out of a thin paper otherwise known as "rice" paper. But you can also use a produce bag from the grocery store.

     If you are short on money and still want to make one here is a video to show you how to make a cheap fire lantern.

     What you will need:
        - a plastic produce grocery bag
        - 2 (birthday) candles
        - a pair of scissors
        - tape
        - thin piece of balsa wood, long
          enough to cut into 2 equal pieces.


     Be sure to do this in an area away from trees, fields, and powerlines. Enjoy.   :)
