About ten years ago on Loy Kratong day I was driving back from a Farangs friends house and a young Thai boy rode a bike in front of my car, I swerved and my truck ran close to the river's edge the bank crumbled and my truck plunged into the river with me inside, I always keep my windows open but suddenly I found them closed, I had been thrown into the back. I realised this after a few moments of expecting the worst and luckily escaped. The local residents informed me that river always claimed several lives every Loy Krathong I am glad I was not one that year but apparently several Thais were

intriguing story. But apart from 'always drive carefully' your point is ?

What I don't get is why you'd be more likely to get this on Loi Krathong than on Songkran, or any other party of the year, or just any other day really.

Loi loi krathong indeed.

Human sacrifice during Loi Grathong is not unheard of.
