syd barrett Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Slice a trunk of banana plant 1.5 inches thick, wrap with banana plant leaves, using bana plant stems as ties. Attach flowers by sharpening their stems and pressing them into the banana plant trunk, add dimes/nickels/cents and joysticks and then float off into your nearest lake/tarn. Be sure to make a wish as you float you Kratong, preferably an altruistic wish. Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest IT Manager Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 The thought counts for something in my opinion. Good luck. See if you can take one of those balloons back next time. They are about 2 metres high and 1 metre around a float up into the sky for millions of iles and are much loved by TG Jockeys in Chiang Mai. See how your home country relates to them.

Dove Posted December 10, 2003 Share Posted December 10, 2003 Just a word of caution about the hot air baloons as these can be a fire hazard in dry country if they get stuck on a tree as I witnessed in Chiang Mai. Otherwise best of luck on the Krathong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dr_Pat_Pong Posted December 11, 2003 Share Posted December 11, 2003 are you late for this year or super early for next year ? . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bella54330 Posted December 11, 2003 Author Share Posted December 11, 2003 I think that i'm late for this year, but I don't think that it's by too far since it is all about the full moon right? Anyway, we all need to ask forgiveness and wish for better luck. Even if it is not the exact right time. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
