Loy Krathong

Good morning-good afternoon to all of you my friends!


Finally went to sleep last night after 2 days, and woke up feeling great! It’s 6am on Saturday here.


Last night there was a huge celebration here, and I’m so glad I was able to witness it!
Loy Krathong is every year, on the 12th lunar full moon.


What does Loy Krathong symbolize?
The central theme of Loy Krathong is to pay respects to the water spirits, seek forgiveness for any pollution or harm done to rivers and water bodies, and make wishes for the future. Krathongs, beautifully decorated floats made from banana leaves and flowers, are offered as a gesture of thanks and goodwill. Pictures of sites and sounds follow.

The street food I ate is called Rotee, and oh my gosh, sweet buttery goodness with chocolate syrup poured on top.
