Loy Krathong is one of Thailand’s most beautiful and meaningful traditions. On this night, people gather by rivers, lakes, and canals to float krathongs (decorated baskets made from banana leaves, flowers, candles, and incense) as a way of paying respect to the water goddess and letting go of negativity, bad luck, and worries.
Highlights in 2025:
🌸 Thousands of candle-lit krathongs floating on rivers and lakes
🎆 Fireworks & lantern releases (especially in Chiang Mai – Yi Peng)
