Make Memories at Amazing Festivals
As night falls, the country’s waterways are illuminated by tiny fl oats fi lled with
fl owers, incense and a candle. This tribute to the Water Goddess takes place on
the full moon night of the 11
th
lunar month. Loi Krathong is a romantic festival,
too. Couples go to fl oat their Krathongs together. While you can see – and
participate in – this festival all across the country, wherever there’s a river, stream
or canal, the most unforgettable place to catch it is in the atmospheric ruins of the
Sukhothai Historical Park, where it originated many centuries ago.
The festivities prove how important water is in a society with such agrarian roots.
During Songkran, the Thai New Year held in mid-April splashes down with water
wars on the streets; the ritual bathing of Buddha images; and endearing displays
of the young pouring water over the hands of their respected elders.
Both of these uniquely colourful festivals show off the spiritual and mirthful
sides of the Thai people and will surely deposit some scenes in your memory
banks that will not soon be forgotten.
