Loy Krathong is a beautiful festival in Thailand, celebrated every November to say thank you to the water goddess and to make wishes. People make small boats called "krathongs" from banana leaves, flowers, and candles. When night comes, everyone goes to rivers or lakes and carefully floats their krathongs on the water. The candles in the krathongs light up the night, making everything look magical. Families and friends gather to enjoy the sight, and children can even make a wish as they let their krathong float away. It's a time for happiness, gratitude, and hope for good things to come.
How to celebrate Loy Krathong?
Find a local river or pond and make a krathong, a little boat made from banana leaves. Decorate it with flowers, candles, and incense sticks. When it's dark, light the candle and incense, say a wish, and carefully float the krathong on the water. Watch your krathong drift away, taking your troubles and bad luck with it. Enjoy the beautiful lights and reflections on the water. You can also watch fireworks, eat yummy Thai food, and spend time with family and friends. It's a night filled with joy, laughter, and making wishes for good luck in the future.
