In Thailand, people enjoy creating their own Krathong
made from natural resources, such as leaves and trunks of
banana adorned with flowers. Some might use bread instead
of synthetic materials showing their concern for environment.
Other than flowers, a candle and incense sticks, we often put
some coins or betel pepper and nut in our Krathongs. And
that’s why our Krathongs can’t drift any further as they are
raided for little money. Nevertheless, Loy Krathong Festival
remains the most romantic and favorite occasion for a number of people and still best represents our gratitude.
