Today is Loy kratong Day. Bob told the class about this Day. He said Loy Kratong is a thai famous festival. It is the Thai tradition of offering to Mae Kongka,the Goddess of water. It is held on the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month. It is usually in November. The Kratongs are made of banana leaves. They are made in many shapes, usually in the shape of lotus and furnished with flowers,incense sticks, candles and coins. They are put on the water. On the Loy Kratong night we can see hundreds of the leafy boats. They float down in rivers. in Bangkok, a huge crowd gathers at the foot of the Memorial Bridge to launch their Kratongs on the chao Phraya River. There are also some entreinments such as the movies,the Likae and the music at the temples. There are also some entertainments at Dusit Zoo. Some small boats and castles are floated in the zoo canals. To the Thai people, the kratongs are supposed to carry their sins away downstream
Both adults and children enjoy this festival. Is's a wonderful and charming night.
