Conclusion
The Loy Krathong Tradition has been part of the
Thai culture and way of living for a long time. At full moon
night of the Thai 12 th month (November) whole Thai people
gather at the river banks and ask for blessings and forgiveness
from the Goddess of the River by releasing Krathongs.
Thousands of candle lights released at the same time
illuminate the river brilliantly and is an eerie but beautiful
spectacle. The traditional custom has become a major
attraction for foreign tourist participating
in the activities and enjoying the
Thai hospitality. But we should
not forget the real message
of Loy Krathong:
Gratitude to the
River
