FAQ: |
|
What is "Loy Krathong"? |
| |
|
| |
Loi Krathong festival is a Thai tradition which has been conducted for a long time ago. Loi Krathong has been held since the middle of the eleventh to the middle of the twelfth lunar month, which is a great flood season- especially on the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month. When the moon shines at night, it makes rivers clear. It is very beautiful scenery which is suitable for floating krathong. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
|
What are the reasons for Loy Krathong? |
| |
|
| |
1. Loi Krathong is to ask for forgiveness "Pra Mae Khongkha" (God of River). |
|
| |
|
| |
2. According to Brahma belief, Loi Krathong is to worship God. |
|
| |
|
| |
3. To fly away misfortune and bad things like floating sin- Bhrama ceremony. |
|

|
How is Loy Krathong in Thailand like? |
| |
|
| |
Nowadays, Loi Krathong festival is held in mostly Thai provinces. Particularly in Chiangmai, it has krathong parade, contestation of making krathongs, and Noppamas beauty pageants contest. |

The villagers in northern and north-eastern parts of Thailand often float lanterns. They are made of color paper. If they float in the afternoon, they will use smoke for floating lanterns while they use torch to set smoke in lanterns to float them in wind chill at night. We can see the light from lantern in the sky with moonshine and stars’ glitter at night, which is very beautiful. |
