One of the grandest cultural festivals in Thailand, Loy Krathong was started out centuries ago as a spiritual festival in which locals would float Krathong (tiny vessel made of folded banana leaves) on riverways to pay respects to Goddess of the River. It eventually evolved into a festival of lights.
Loy Krathong takes place at all piers, public parks and river banks on the full moon night in the eleventh month of every year.
