same to you

Someone with knowledge could explain the history of Loy Khatong. For once I put my hand down. One can know only so much:)

Happy Loy (not that it makes any chances to normal schedule unless you have a chick who wants to send a "boat")

Perhaps people would like to post pictures of the kratongs their significant other has created... or even a picture of them as they "loy" away on the water.

I'll show you mine if you....

Happy Loi Kratong!

Just come back from my 1st Loy experience which was great!

Did mine in Surat Thani.

Things I learned this eve:

1. You add a personal finger-nail clipping, hair-clipping and toe-nail clipping and place it in the krathong to rid yourself of bad luck.

2. When the krathong is in the water if it floats happily away - Good Luck is coming.

3. When the krathong is in the water if it stays near the shore - Bad luck is afoot.

4. If krathong capsises and candle is extinguished - Bad luck is a-comin'.

5. Just how many times can a simple farang be expected to stand to attention for the birthday celebration anthem!??

Overall opinion:

A colourful, crowded, uplifting experience.

It was a beautiful sight to see all the krathongs in the dark floating away like tiny beacons of hope....
