This trip to Thailand Loy Krathong is a rare opportunity in our dreams, allowing us to travel to so many cities, from Bangkok to Sukhothai, Tak Province, Lampang, to visit this unique Loy Krathong festival in the central part, and then turn around. Going to Chiang Mai and Baizhen to experience the humanities and customs of Northern Thailand, the most essence and rich itinerary is condensed here, and finally the chapter is finished. This article organizes the key points of the itinerary for everyone, and allows myself to revisit the beauty of that journey.
First of all, after the floods in Thailand last year, the appearance and life remain the same, and the unchanging Thai style still lingers in the hearts of travelers. When we personally visited the flood control system in Bangkok, and spent a few days in downtown Bangkok In fact, they really need everyone to embark on a sightseeing trip here again, to revitalize the tourism industry, so that the impact of the flood will disappear as soon as possible. Like my colleagues who visited Bangkok at the end of the year and my colleagues last week, they still haunt the City of Smiles. , Another colleague is already in Bangkok at the moment and is also sharing hotel photos on Facebook, so feel free to play! ^^
In Thailand, Loy Krathong and Songkran are two major local festivals, and the Loy Krathong festival is held on December 12th of the Buddhist calendar every year. Usually the lanterns are made of banana leaves folded into a boat, and a banana leaf stem or The bread stick is fixed, the boat is filled with flowers, a candle, three incense sticks and traditional small coins, and then put the blessing water lantern in the hand into the river, praying for a better life.The Thai "Loi" means floating or floating, which can be floating on the water or floating in the sky, and "Krathong" refers to this small boat-style light, which together means water lantern.
If you want to experience the 2012 Loy Krathong Festival (Chiang Mai International Sky Lantern Festival), appreciate the lights and shadows on the water, and the grand occasion of thousands of sky lanterns, you can check the relevant event time on the website of the Tourism Authority of Thailand in August, and then you can Step up to order air tickets and hotels.This festival is very lively and there are many European and American travelers.
