Loy Krathong Festival

Despite my physical condition and fever....I am going to go to the Loy Krathong Festival...I don't like missing out on things like this so I am going to try really hard to be a big girl and make sure I am in bed early.

One of the most beautiful festivals that takes place in Thailand is the one for Loy Krathong. This is celebrated on the full moon in November. The word loy means to float, and a krathong is a banana leaf cup. People place a candle and incense sticks in their krathongs and then float them on a local river or pond. As they push away their krathong, they ask for forgiveness in polluting the waterways and also for good luck in the coming months
