The production and procession of candles in Ubon Ratchathani has taken place for hundreds of years. Thus, a lot of development has taken place too, as previously described. From the simple candle parade in the beginning, to today’s dancing-, music- and acting-enhanced pageant. From the combination of the hands and energy of small groups of villagers in various communities in an economical way, to working with various groups of villagers, traders and civil servants in a more expensive way. From manual labour and transport on a cart, to transport on a motorised vehicle. From a small vehicle, to a large vehicle. From a large vehicle, to many vehicles. From a short vehicle, to a long vehicle. From prizes worth just a few baht, to prizes worth hundreds of thousands of baht. From administration solely by Ubon Ratchathani province, to administration in cooperation with the Tourist Authority of Thailand. From having no tourists, to having both Thai and foreign tourists. All of these various types of development have made the candles so different, so beautiful and so magnificent.
