hellodolly Posted March 3, 2012 Share Posted March 3, 2012 My boy is trying to schedue his vacation to take Loi Krathong in. As near as I can figure it is on Nov. 28 that seemed a little late in the month to me. It is supposed to occur on the twelfth full moon in the Thai year which occurs in November. Has anybody got any information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't use up the bandwidth or burden other members asking stupid questions like "Where is Pratu Chang Phueak?", What is the telephone number number of St. Peter Eye Hospital?", "Where is JJ Market?", "When is Loy Krathong?" and on and on.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Or: "Why do members like to slag each other off on this forum?" Google doesn't have the answer to that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WarProfiteer Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 Just curious what the difference is (if there is one) between the festival in Chiang Mai Vs other parts of Thailand? I've done it once in Pattaya... we went to the beach, drank, and lit sky lanterns. Then I did it in Phuket... we went to the beach, drank and lit sky lanterns. Obviously CM doesnt have a beach, but I'm just wondering if their way of observing is somehow different... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ludditeman Posted March 4, 2012 Share Posted March 4, 2012 (edited) Remember the premiere free event of the 1000 khom loy release at the Dhamma Centre at Mae-jo will be on the Saturday either 1 week or 2 weeks before Loy Kratong. (To discourage 'tourists' from attending) Edited March 4, 2012 by ludditeman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
