One popular place for tourists was Nakrapirom Park on Maharat Road in Bangkok near the Grand Palace. There, tourists could learn to make their own krathongs and, of course, join in with the locals in floating them. (Park photos by Wichan Charoenkiatpakul)
Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-o-cha and his wife, Naraporn, floated their krathongs in Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem near the Government House. Officials were close by making sure they didn't fall in.
The canal has received a big facelift over the past year and is now a popular place for tourists and locals, including these cute twins seen last night. (Khlong Phadung Krung Kasem photos by Thanarak Khunton)
