• Will the floating lanterns cause environmental problems such as earth and water pollution or forest fire?

At the Chiang Mai CAD, we will provide traditional Dhammachai lanterns that approved by Thai Industrial Standards TIS808/2552. The lantern is made of natural and recyclable papers and bamboo, all the materials are biodegradable and will not cause pollution. It has a heat-proof wire attached to the candle wick, which will likely quench out after floating up for about 10 minutes. And the heat-proof wire prevents fire or short circuit if the lanterns fall on the high-voltage power transmission cables.
