PHUKET:-- Local administration organisations across the island are making preparations for the annual upcoming Loy Krathong Festival, this year to be held on Nov 11.
 

The traditional annual water festival each year sees krathong floated as offerings to the water goddess Phra Mae Kongka in the hope she blesses supplicants by keeping negative forces at bay and bringing prosperity in all its forms to their lives.

The Phuket Provincial Administration Organisation (PPAO, or OrBorJor) will hold its Loy Krathong festivities at Chalong Pier, with many daytime activities, including an alms-giving ceremony for 19 monks at 7am as well as the traditional longtail boat race on Chalong Bay.
