Romantic Loy Krathong this coming Wednesday

PATTAYA:-- Celebrants encouraged to use only natural materials for krathongs

This year’s Loy Krathong Festival in Pattaya, the most romantic night on the Thai calendar, falls on Wednesday, November 28.

The entire Kingdom will be celebrating, with most everyone going to the water’s edge to loy (float) their krathong. Locally the city organized festivities will be centered at Bali Hai in South Pattaya from 4 p.m. until midnight.

Scheduled events include a young Miss Noppamas contest, along with stage shows and concerts, including Thai rock band Zeal.

Organizers are requesting people wishing to float a krathong to use only those made from all natural material that will easily biodegrade.

Since it is such a revered holiday, expect the large influx of people currently flowing into the resort to get even bigger. This will most likely cause more than a few traffic jams, so please plan ahead should you choose to drive anywhere during the holiday period.
