A Thai vendor displays floats made for the Loy Krathong festival at a flower market in Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011. Every year when the moon is full and the rainy season draws to an end, millions of Thais fill their country's waterways with miniature lotus-shaped boats, setting them adrift with flickering candles in a centuries-old homage to a water goddess. This year, flood-ravaged Thailand has plenty of reason to pray for rebirth, and little reason to celebrate. |
