1FinickyOne Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Not sure what the 1st occasion means but mostly I would think not necessary to remind someone of sadness 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kwasaki Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) Don't know what a krathang is ???? if anyone says anything to me i just say hope your Krathong don't sink. Edited November 9, 2022 by Kwasaki Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisKC Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 This is definitely a difficult matter to tackle and saying or writing anything the "right" way, however well-intentioned, can lead to more emotional upset. The nature of the "difficulty" is that Loi Krathong is a celebration and a death in the family is obviously the opposite. Combining these opposites (not a greeting) is extremely tricky. Maybe a solution is to send a "sympathy" card - which is far a more important message to send, leaving out any mention of the Loi Krathong aspect.

Either way no-one really needs to be reminded. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
