Loy Krathong in Lumpini Park

12/2/2016

This year's Loy Krathong was on November 14th and during the super moon! Giving people like me great opportunities for photographs.  As always, I am here to share. 

Loi Krathong occurs on the evening of the 12th full moon in the traditional Thai lunar calendar and in the Western calendar this usually falls in November. On this day Thais launch their krathong in a river, canal, lake or a pond, making a wish as they do so. The traditional krathong is a floating decoration made from a slice of the trunk of a banana tree or a spider lily plant.  A beautiful event to see during your travels in Thailand.
