The Loy Krathong Festival marks the end of the rainy season in Thailand and is one of the country’s most cherished traditions. People float beautifully decorated krathongs on the water to make wishes and let go of negativity, symbolizing renewal and peace. This sacred ritual has been celebrated for centuries, and we’re proud to share this beautiful Thai tradition with all visitors and guests here at @akathailand. | AKA Thailand

Note the date! Loy Krathong, Thailand’s festival of lights, falls on November 5th this year. It’s a time to thank the water goddess, as people gather by rivers to float krathong, or baskets, made from banana trunks, flowers and candles. While celebrations will be more subdued, due to the mourning period, places like Sukhothai and Chiang Mai will still have parades, lanterns and traditional performances. #ThaiPBSWorld #ThailandNews #ThailandUpdate #LoyKrathong #ลอยกระทง2025 | Thai PBS World
