Go to Ayutahya which is a short bus ride from Bangkok.

Last time I was in BKK for Loy Krathong there were loads of people up near the canal on Soi 3 doing it there. Very impromptu affair away from the main sites but very good fun! Lots of booze going round!

I've been to a couple in bkk - Benjasiri Park (next to the Emporium, Sukhumvit) and near the Royal Orchid Sheraton, near the river.

The dinner boat Chao Phraya Princess (Supakarn Pier) is having a special cruise that night (2,500 baht I think).

You can call them and they will fax the info to you:
