(14 Aug 2016) One hundreds and sixteen hot air balloons took to the skies in Bristol, UK, on Sunday at Europe's largest balloon festival.
Gusty winds prevented flying on Saturday but conditions were ideal on Sunday morning.
The event attracted balloonists from around the world but nobody travelled further than Nithis Thongdee from Thailand.
Thongdee is only the fourth person in Thailand to receive a balloon pilot's licence and he thinks the calm winds of his home country make for easier flying conditions than England.
The organisers estimated that around 500,000 people will visit the fiesta between 11-14 August.
