C'mon Let's Loy Krathong

>> Monday, November 2, 2009

If you google it with word "Loy Krathong" in Thailand, you will know what is this mean. In brief is we make floating floral vessel and put onto water as forgiveness to River (Mother of River). You can pick ordinary floral one made of banana tree, leaf and flowers.

Or just full of beautiful leaf and other flowers like above.

What about nice idea of using cabbage as a container?

This is also environmentally friendly one, made of bread. It can be good food to all fish.

This is funny one, bread in turtle shape.


This is how people do, make a wish with Krathong (flora vessel) with lighted candle..and float on to water. It brings you good luck and take away your bad things in life.

For me? I didn't do any, just doesn't feel like it but enjoy seeing people doing so. It was very windy and I feel so good with that.
