Lighted Rivers and Canals


Last Sunday, many temples or restaurants at the riverside or canals decorated their places for Loy Krathong Festival, which will be held on Sunday 21 Nov. Besides, there is the preparation of Nang Nopamat Contest. As known that she created krathong for the King of Phra Ruang to float it on this occasion. In history, she was beautiful and learned lady so now the character of Nang Nopamat Queen will be the most beautiful of contest.

In the past, it’s believed that floating krathongs can be a way of shedding one’s sin. Some people said it is a kind of thanks-giving or appeasing ceremony to the water gods (Mai Kongka). Last, it's an excuse for spending an evening outdoor amid pleasant surroundings as the rainy season is just over. The winter is coming.

Kkrathongs are made of nature material so that we can save the world. In nature, there is no award or punishment, but there is only consequences remain.

Loykrathong, Everyone's full of cheer. Loy krathong in the gold river and the Klong....Be lighted rivers and canals on Loy Krathong Night.
