Held
annually, Loi Krathong is one of the most beautiful Thai festivals, and it is a
time to give thanks to the goddess of waters and to seek forgiveness for past
misdeeds. It occurs at night during the full moon of the 12th Thai lunar month.
This year the event falls on November 28.
Loi literally
means “to float,” while Krathong refers to the lotus-shaped
vessels containing candles, incense and flowers which participants float down
rivers and on lakes and ponds everywhere.
