Loy Krathong is a thai tradition practiced since the ancient time. Loy Krathong festival begins from the middle of October until the middle of November in the time of high-level river which is full of water. The popular time for the festival is in November full moon shine, because of the full moon. The moon抯 light makes the river look clear and clean in the night. The good atmosphere is suitable for Loy Krathong festival.
Loy Krathong was originally called Phraratchaphithi (Royal ceremony) 揓ong Plean Chak Kome, Loy Kome |

As the full moon of the twelfth lunar month (usually in mid-November) lights up the night sky, throughout the Thai kingdom, hundreds of thousands of ornately-decorated krathong or traditional banana leaf floats are set adrift in rivers and waterways in a spell-binding ritual called "Loy Krathong" - the 'festival of lights". This is one of the Kingdom's oldest and best-preserved traditions. [More Information]
Here's the song that we sing on that day together with its romanised spelling and meaning in English. (Click here to hear the song)

Below is the well-known English version. This English translation rhymes and fits the rhythm but misses some of the meaning in Thai.
November full moon shines
Loy Krathong, loy Krathong
and the water's high in the river and local klong
Loy Krathong is here and everybody's full of cheer
We're together at the klong
Each one with his krathong
As we push away we pray
We can see a better day |
