Krathong

Krathong is a traditional Thai festival where people create decorated floats called "krathongs" from banana leaves, flowers, incense, and candles. During the Loy Krathong festival, typically held in November, participants gently float their krathongs on rivers, lakes, or ponds. This act symbolizes releasing negative feelings, forgiving past grievances, and making wishes for good fortune. The festival also celebrates honoring water spirits and expressing gratitude for water resources. It’s a beautiful and cultural event that combines spirituality, artistry, and community participation, creating a serene and festive atmosphere across Thailand.
