Loy Krathong

Hi readers...
This post is not about muaythai..but I just want to share something about Thai festivals...Loy Krathong...hope you don't mind ..

Tomorrow, 21 Nov 2010, is Loy Krathong Day..and here I'll let you see some pictures about the festivals...


In Thai words, Loy means float...loy krathong means float the krathong..Picture above is krathong. Peoples at my place use to make krathong like this..simply made from banana trunk, banana leaves and the small flower as in the pictures..sorry I don't know the flowers name..


This is how the krathong was floated..make a wish and let it flow..



One of the interesting event during Loy Krathong Festival is Beauty Pageants..my place did organized this event and there were participants from different races...they have Malay, Chinese, Indian and Siamese...'1 Malaysia' applied..




You can also join this festivals at local temple...it's ok to join and experience by yourself as it is one of Thais event that can be celebrate by all races...

One of the place that will held this festivals this year is at Jitra, Kedah..
-----Happy Loy Krathong Festival----
