Ask your hotel staff where they recommend celebrating Loy Krathong in your destination and they can easily point you in the right direction. When you’re there, browse the krathong displays and pick out your favourite (or even several!). Head to the waterside where you see local Thais gathering to float their krathongs. First light the incense sticks and candles (these will already be in the krathong that you have bought). Your entire family should hold the krathong together after it is lit. Everyone makes a wish, and then sends the krathong into the water with a little push, to carry your wish downstream. It carries away your troubles and offers up your wishes and prayers with the incense and glowing candle. Follow the flickering light with your eyes as long as you can.
