Loy Krathong Culture

One Thai festival that I cannot miss each year is Loy Krathong. This is the tradition where people give thanks to the goddess of water for the sustenance and support she has given over the year, and is held on a full moon night in November. In Bangkok, the best place you can float your kratong, a hand-made decorative rafts, is of course at the Chao Praya river, but any body of water will do. For me, I like going to the parks, especially Suan Lumpini, for a more intimate experience.

If you get a chance to visit Chiangmai, there is a northern lantern festival during this period, where the sky is filled with candlelit paper lanterns. This is an amazing experience everyone should see at least once.

    I would love to see that~! We have similiar festival in Poland during Spring break when we place hand mande things on water – it’s to say farewell to the winter but it isn’r as spectacular as Loy Krathong, I assume :)

    I wanna go to Thailand and participate this festival with Khun.
    This seems to be interesting.

    Anyway, how can international fans can be one of those lucky fans to travel with Khun’s guide. Could you please organize another trip for internatinal fans? I’m pretty sure there are many people who want to take a break with Nichkhun.
