Loy Krathong

Loy Krathong is a traditional Thai festival celebrated annually, usually in November. Participants create decorative floating baskets called "krathongs" from banana leaves, adorned with flowers, candles, and incense. They gently release these onto rivers or lakes, symbolizing the release of negative feelings and seeking good fortune. The festival also honors the water goddess, Phra Mae Khongkha. Loy Krathong is a vibrant event marked by beautiful visuals, lantern lighting, and cultural performances, fostering community spirit and gratitude for water resources.
