all arranges clean-up
Nearly one million krathong were removed from the Chao Phraya River, waterways and ponds after Loy Krathong night on November 6 in Bangkok.
City Hall pulled 982,064 krathong from the Chao Phraya River, canals, waterways and ponds in 29 public parks where people paid their respects to the water goddess. The number of krathong collected from waterways in the capital this year increased by 13 percent compared with last year.
More than 90 percent of the krathong were made from natural materials such as banana leaves, Bangkok governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra said.
