Loi Krathong Festival

Loi Krathong, celebrated on the full moon of the 12th lunar month (often in November), is a serene festival in Thailand where people release floating baskets (krathongs) made of banana leaves into rivers to honor the water goddess and let go of misfortunes. In 2026, it will likely fall in early November, with lanterns lighting up the sky and local performances adding to the charm. It’s a time for gratitude and renewal in Thai culture.
