Pattaya celebrates the Loy Krathong Festival

PATTAYA: -- The Loy Krathong festival is over for another year and Pattaya was extremely busy throughout the evening as Thai’s and foreigners celebrated throughout the City.Both Pattaya and Jomtien Beaches were full of people launching their Krathong’s in to the sea. Fireworks and fire lanterns were seen along the entire stretch of both Beaches. Many had come from the flood-affected areas in Bangkok and Central Thailand where the festival had been effectively cancelled. Many local hotels held private Loy Krathong events and at the Bali Hai Port the main Pattaya Loy Krathong Festival activities were well attended.

We returned to Pattaya Beach the next morning to see for ourselves the aftermath of the Loy Krathong Festival and the water and beach was littered with used fireworks and Krathongs.
