Conclusion
Loy Krathong Tradition has been a part of the Thai
culture and way of living for a long time. At full moon
night of the Thai 12th 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 Thai hospitality.
However we should not
forget the real message
of Loy Krathong :
Gratitude to the
River Goddess.
