Loy Kratong festival

This is the second activity that I recommended foreign travelers if they are in Thailand during the month of November.

Last Wednesday was Loy Kratong day in Thailand. I was so sad that I could not join in the festival this year. On Loy Kratong day, Thai people always go to Loy Krathong with their family, friends, or lover (Loy is to float and Kratong is something made from banana leaf or bread). The festival is believed to apologize to Pra Mae Kong Ka who Thai people respect. People usually go to this festival with their family, friends or lover because they believed that they will walk together forever if they go to Loy Kratong in somebody's company.

Here is my sketch for Wat Saket or Phu Khao Thong which has a big Loy Krathong festival in Bangkok every year.
