In typical Thai style, there can not be simply a fire. It wouldn't be Thailand without a conspicuous display of smoke, fire and sound.
These smoke bombs are doing the trick, and there is also some kind of device that is making a howling sound--like the ghost of an elephant someone said.
Yes, more fireworks, including what you see here and some aerial mortars.
And finally the fireworks die out, leaving us with the pyre.
