Loi Krathong

Today was Loi Krathong, a Thai holiday that falls on the full moon during November. Tradition on that day is to make a little boat out of banana leaves with a candle and incense on the boat, and let it float out onto the river carrying away all your bad luck. We took the Sky Train over to the Chao Phrya river where there were hundreds of other people with the same idea. We bought our little Krathongs (Loi means to float) and plunked them into the river, or at least a little inlet. I don't think ours got too far, but we did our part.
