Water Festival Ceremony: Full Moon Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month

The Water Festival Ceremony, widely known as Loy Krathong, is one of Thailand’s most cherished and visually stunning celebrations. Held on the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month—usually at the end of October or the beginning of November—this festival honors the goddess of water, Phra Mae Khongkha. It is a time when Thai people express gratitude for water’s vital role in their lives, while also seeking to wash away misfortune and invite good luck for the year ahead.
