Tomorrow is a great Thai holiday; Loy Krathong day. This day is set aside for Thai people to say thank you to the Goddess Mae Khongkha, the Mother of Water.
Loy means to float and a krathong is a lotus shaped vessel made of banana leaves. The krathong is made of banana leaves, a candle, three joss sticks, and flower decorations.
By moonlight, people light the candles and joss sticks, make a prayer and launch their krathongs in canals, rivers or small ponds
Loy krathong is really just excuse for Thai women to dress up their daughters.
I will take some photos and upload on Monday
