Someone with knowledge could explain the history of Loy Khatong. For once I put my  hand down. One can know only so much:)

Happy Loy (not that it makes any chances to normal schedule unless you have a chick who wants to send a "boat")

Perhaps people would like to post pictures of the kratongs their significant other has created... or even a picture of them as they "loy" away on the water. :o

I'll show you mine if you....   :D


Happy Loi Kratong!

Just come back from my 1st Loy experience which was great!

Did mine in Surat Thani.

Things I learned this eve:

1. You add a personal finger-nail clipping, hair-clipping and toe-nail clipping and place it in the krathong to rid yourself of bad luck.

2. When the krathong is in the water if it floats happily away - Good Luck is coming.

3. When the krathong is in the water if it stays near the shore - Bad luck is afoot.

4. If krathong capsises and candle is extinguished - Bad luck is a-comin'.

5. Just how many times can a simple farang be expected to stand to attention for the birthday celebration anthem!??

Overall opinion:

A colourful, crowded, uplifting experience.

It was a beautiful sight to see all the krathongs in the dark floating away like tiny beacons of hope....
