Although both the candles and the Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival Parade are magnificent, beautiful, exquisite, and pleasing to the eye, and there are many activities to take part in, it is already becoming repetitive for the people of Ubon Ratchathani. Because of this, the people of Ubon Ratchathani will try to think of new methods that are different in order to introduce new, strange and exciting things to the festival. One new thing that has been heard of is to parade the candles on water. This is because Ubon Ratchathani is on the Moon River which is an important waterway and passes through the city too. The parading of the candles on water will lead to various new activities and methods, including both the procession and the production of candles. Another thing is the promotion of tourism by water. (Someone has suggested that the parade should be on water one day, and on land one day, with the procession beginning at Khu Deua beach and ending at Wat Dai beach. There should be floats, bamboo rafts, and boat racing competitions, together with other types of water craft, and with the boats carrying the candles as the central feature. The craft that carry the candles should be amphibious – on the water acting as a boat, and on land acting as a motor vehicle which can enter the parade immediately. There should be a competition for the parade on water as well as on land. Following that, the candles should be presented to temple adjacent to the river, for example Wat Supattanaram, Wat Luang, Wat Dai, etc.)
