Loy Krathong Festival Celebration

Experience the magic of Loy Krathong, one of Thailand's most beautiful and significant festivals, held on the full moon of the 12th lunar month when waterways are filled with water after the rainy season. Join locals along the Chao Phraya River as they release krathongs—small floating offerings made of banana leaves and decorated with flowers, candles, and incense—onto the water. This symbolic act represents letting go of negativity and bad fortune while expressing gratitude to the water goddess Phra Mae Khongkha. The riverside comes alive with cultural performances, traditional music, food stalls, and beauty contests. The night sky fills with thousands of floating lanterns (khom loi) released into the air, creating a spectacular scene as the river below sparkles with the light of countless krathongs drifting with the current. This serene yet festive event offers insight into Thai spiritual practices and creates unforgettable photo opportunities in Bangkok's most picturesque evening of the year.
