does anbody know what date it will be this year full moon and all that

This year, the Loy Krathong festivities fall on 4 and 5 November, with the 5th being the full moon day of the twelfth lunar month, and the day when most of the festivities happen ("Loy Kathong Yai").

And if they play that damm "loy loy kratong" song at full blast on the loud hailer outside my bedroom window at 6am this year HEADS WILL ROLL.

Can anyone remember a Loy Grathong that wasn't in November?

I can, but a few Thai people say it is always in November.

Maybe I am mistaken.

thinking of going to Sukhothai for Loy Krathong.... anyone been there at that time before. I'd be interested to know what it's like.

Can anyone tell me what Loy Krathong is exactly as I havn't been there that time of year.. Thanks

Some web sites, for example this one, say it can also be towards the end of October.

Next year, I see, a leap lunar month is added in June and therefore Loy Krathong won’t be in late October. I have not figured out how they decide in what year to add a leap month.

And here is a link with some information on Loy Krathong 2006 - including an audio file of the Loy Krathong song just in case you don't have a loudpseaker outside your bedroom...

Maybe I'm the only one, but I really like that song. Catchy chorus

I vaguely rememer Loy Kratong falling at the end of October during 2001, however I could well be wrong.

I shall start work constructing a giant Kratong this week, ready for floatation and then get to work building a giant hot air lantern to send up into the sky.

Where else in the world can you have so much fun? Also the last couple of years, there has been a clamp-down on street fire-crackers (in Pattaya) so hopefully I can float my Kratong without losing an eye or my eardrums.

There was one year a few years back when Loy Kratong fell on the same day as Halloween.

Heres a funny story , I have a friend named Roy , Athai girl sent him a card addressed to "float" It took me a while but roy = loy = float in Thai

Could well have fallen in October in 2001, but since Loy Krathong is scheduled for the 11th full moon of the year it falls on a different day each year. This year, it's 5 November.
