Mouse Mommy Treats: thailand

สวัสดี sawadee kha , Loy Krathong is a fascinating and enchanting festival that takes place annually in Thailand. Exciting that 8 Kia Peng Suites was having Loy Krathong celebration!

It is a time when people come together to celebrate the beauty and power of the natural world, paying tribute to the rivers, lakes and oceans that are such an important part of Thai life.

The festival takes place on the full moon night in the twelfth lunar month, which usually falls in November.

On this night, people throughout the country gather together to light candles and float small, decorated baskets which are called "krathongs" down the rivers and waterways.

These krathongs are traditionally made from the cut-off outer layer of a banana tree trunk or a spider lily plant, and decorated with flowers, candles, and incense sticks. They are then released onto the water in order to ask for forgiveness and good luck.

In addition to the krathongs, the festival also features a range of other activities designed to honor the waters.
