LOY KATHONG A ROMANTIC FESTIVAL

This most charming of all Thai celebrations takes place on the full moon night of the 12th lunar month . Loy Kathong is a romantic festival which usually falls in November. As night falls, the country’s waterways are illuminated by tiny floats filled with flowers, incense and a candle. Couple go to float their Krathongs together. Along the riverside, visitors can buy ready-made, cheap Krathong and join in the festivities. On the water, a thousand twinkling lights bob up and down, representing people’s hopes and dreams. This celebration is a delight for all the family and should not be missed.
