I spent “Loi Krathong” together with Tao, Annika and David and with my fellow students. first being at Chula and later we headed to Saphan Taksin and than to the Tamassat University for a bit more quiet experience.
Just a short story what Loi Krathong is about: Loi Krathong is traditionally performed on the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month, which usually falls on some day in November. The floating of a ‘Krathong' – a banana–leaf cup – is intended to float away ill fortune as well as to express apologies to Khongkha or Ganga, the River Goddess. Some believe that the ritual is meant to worship the Buddha's footprint on the bank of the Narmada River, while others say that it is to pay respect to Phra Uppakhut, one of the Lord Buddha's great disciples.
