Loi Krathong-Night of the full moon
13.11.2008
33 °C
Thanksgiving, Guy Fawkes and Dawali all roll into Loi Krathong. Feasting, fireworks, tacky decorations and exhuberant celebrations mark the end of the rainy season (we hope). Millions of decorated banana-leaf lotus flowers, with candles, incense and prayers (krathongs) are floated on the rivers throughout Thailand. We were there surrounded by throngs of joyous Thais.
Ayutthaya, the 14th century capital has charmed us with its ancient ruins and friendly tuk-tuk drivers.

I can smell, feel, and hear the celebrations if I close my eyes. Your pictures are beautiful, keep them coming. Be safe and we miss you!
