In Loy Krathong day the moon will be full. Loy Krathong means paying respects to Mae Kong Ka river Goddess .thank her for cultivation and life for other floating lotus-shaped krathongs means the release of bad luck from the previous year.
In the evening when the full moon begins to rise on November, the people carry one or two krathongs to the edge of brimful running water. After the candle and incense sticks in the krathong are lighted, they let it go gently on the surface of the placid waters. A few folk will sometimes raise their hands in worship to the floating krathong. They watch the krathong as they float sluggishly along the water for sometimes until they float far away or out of sight. The children to while away the time play with water fire-works. The fireworks, apart from amusement, are a part of any celebration secularly and religiously. We light fireworks sometimes in the same spirit as we light candles as an act of worship.
The Loy Krathong Festival is an occasion not to be missed. The festival is listed in the tourist calendar. Everyone is invited to take part and share the joy and happiness.
