The Loy Krathong Festival in Chiang Mai is officially launched. Today Wendy and I are looking forward to the Q Home office of Qiaoyou with full expectation to participate in their limited Loy Krathong courses-three types of water lantern making experience. In the past, I took the lanterns given by the store in Mae Ping River. (Mae Ping River) Slowly release, but I didn't expect that there will be classes here in Chiang Mai, so I immediately booked courses online, which also gave Wendy the opportunity to experience the romance of Loy Krathong.
In 2011, my friends and I participated in a visit to the Chiang Mai Loy Krathong Festival organized by the Tourism Bureau of Thailand. It was the first time that I saw Loy Krathong so romantic and far-reaching. It was different from the lively and festive Songkran Festival. Lights, or water lanterns floating on the river, and even fireworks dazzling the night sky from time to time. At that time, I made up my mind and wanted to take Wendy to feel the taste of this festival when I had the opportunity.
After we arrived in Chiang Mai, because of the busy work and the schedule before departure, there was only a cooking class to arrange the time, and suddenly remembered that there is a water lantern making course which will be held during the three days of the Loy Krathong Festival. The water lantern on the website The finished product is very beautiful, and it is also marked that there will be a Chinese teacher to teach. Wendy also finds it interesting, but unfortunately Taiwan is already full. Follow the line to find the source of the course provider-Q Home.Call me directly to see if there are any available places. The person in the classroom told me that I can send them a short message to make a reservation and pay on the spot.
※ Go to the poor travel office
▲ At the door of the office.
▲ Time-limited courses.
▲ I thought it was a small class. When I saw the large number of shoes at the door, I probably knew... There were many students.
We arrived at the original scheduled time. We did not expect that the classroom was already full of people. There were about 25-28 people. The teachers have started teaching one by one. Fortunately, there is a group of people who have just arrived. Follow us to learn how to make water lanterns. .The staff of Qiongyou will first send out the materials for making bottled water, snacks, and water lanterns, and start to teach us every production step, as well as guidance during the assembly process. Therefore, although the water lanterns have their design styles, they can still rely on their own creativity. Make a unique water lamp.
Unexpectedly, it took a long time to make the water lanterns. In order to be able to go to the Mae Ping River on time, the teacher omitted some steps, so there was a gap between the beautiful styles I saw on the website, but Wendy and I still found it fresh and interesting. Still successfully completed their two lighting decorations.As the number of participants in the course exceeded the expected number, we informed the other party that they would ride a motorcycle in advance, so we don't need to take us specifically, instead, we will go to the river bank with the car.
Sitting in the back seat of the locomotive, holding two water lamps, I think this course is quite fun.
