Northern Thailand Day 2
Undoubtedly the biggest and most colorful festival of the year in Thailand is Loy Krathong or Yi Peng, as it is known in Chiang Mai and the north. It is held on the night of the full moon of the twelfth lunar month and usually falls in November.
The Loy Kratong ritual is simple one. One needs only to light the candles and the joss sticks, make one's wishes and let it float away with the current of a river or release the lantern to the air. Its flame is said to signify longevity, fulfillment of wishes and release from sins. Yi Peng is also considered a romantic night for couples and lovers, many of them would make a wish to bless their love affairs as they release their lantern to the air.
it's truly a joy of Loy Krathong Festival.
