The festival of Loy Krathong is a time to pay our respects to the Goddess of Water by floating candles and joss-sticks.
Loi Krathong is traditionally performed on the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month, which usually falls on some day in November. The floating of a Krathong made a banana leaf is intended to float away ill fortune as well as to express apologies to Khongkha or Ganga, the River Goddess.
many ordinary Thai use the krathong to thank the Goddess of Water, Phra Mae Khongkha
