Happy Loy Krathong. But this year authorities are saying ‘only floating Krathongs thanks’, and preferably no polystyrene or steel pins.

 

In Phuket, the Provincial Office says fireworks, fire crackers and sky lanterns are prohibited for people’s safety. They say that these are the same guidelines as every year. (But a few always sneak through the system)

 

Loi Krathong is a festival celebrated annually throughout Thailand  The name could be translated as “to float a basket”, and comes from the tradition of making krathong or buoyant, decorated baskets, which are then floated on a river. Loi Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar so the exact date of the festival changes every year.
