If you would like to learn how to make a Krathong the Tuskers girls will be holding a free Krathong class on Monday afternoon anytime from 2pm. The will have all the materials to allow you how to make a beautiful, traditional krathong which you can then float on the moat or river or take home. There is no charge and the girls look forward to sharing their craft skills with anyone who wishes to learn.

lovely idea!

Oh wow..!

Wonderful idea.

Thank you.

Great Idea....... but isn't this a day late and a dollar short ?

Aren't the activities Saturday and Sunday ????

..... or is it for next year ?

Great Idea....... but isn't this a day late and a dollar short ?

The idea for the class came solely from my staff who thought there would be some people who would enjoy learning the art of krathong making. They tell me that the actual date for Loy Krathong is Monday and that the krathongs should be released on that evening under the full moon.

I totally defer to their knowledge in these matters.

Well MB , I will defer to your deferring and add another day here....

Thank you for that.....

For some reason firefox doesnt like this link, flagging it as a reported site attack. IE accepts it fine however....

Wilai Maneetorn tells me she's planning her personal celebration for November 1 and 2 in Mae Rim. If Wilai says it, I believe.

Should have said this idea from the Tuskers staff is a lovely one. I'm very impressed by the gesture.

The primary day is Monday the 2nd which is the full moon (actually 2:14 AM on the 3rd to be precise).

Just giving this a quick "bump" for those interested that may not have noticed it.

Really nice of the Tuskers girls to put this on for us.

Thanks so very much Tuskers and especially to the girls for providing a really enjoyable afternoon. I had a lot of fun and met really lovely people (particularly nice to put faces to a couple of Thaivisa names).

Tonight I will be proudly floating my home made Krathong. Really appreciated.

Sorry to have missed it this year. Loy Krathong was always my favorite Thai holiday. Thanks to the girls at Tuskers for putting on the lessons, though.

So strange! Maybe one of the adverts are making warnings flag up?? But yes, for me anyway, had no problems visting this site. But...here is the list from the site:

Oh hey, and last night i and others ended up in a Powder Fingers video releasing lanterns. The singer spoke to me. Kinda cool.

Edit: That was kinda random..lol..sorry.

Hubby and I really enjoyed making our krathongs. Thank you!

MB, you may want to check the plants that provide decor for your establishment. Your staff did some serious pruning to gather materials for their krathong projects!

All in a good cause!

Thanks everyone for your kind comments which I shall pass on to Off and the girls. They were thrilled that people came and I am glad everyone enjoyed it.

Mrs MB and I took the kratongs she made down to the river near our house last night and released them much to the amusement of the locals.
