» A part of Thai culture for centuries, Loy Krathong will be celebrated on Nov 5 and is based on the lunar calendar ritual of releasing illuminated lotus-shaped floats or krathongs on rivers and waterways. It also pays homage to the water goddess, apart from being a time to reflect, express gratitude and make a wish for good fortune. Guru By Bangkok Post lists a few places to join in the celebrations.
