Loy Krathong | ลอยกระทง

People launch a boat made of banana leaves into the water to thank the river for providing water and to cleanse themselves. On this boat they put flowers, a candle, incense, golden coins, a hair and nail of the sender(s). In Bangkok one also finds a gigantic fair on the temple grounds of Wat Saket, and if you're lucky you may be able to catch a traditional likae show somewhere. (October, November)
