Loi Krathong Day Traditions of Thailand🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭

The Loi Krathong tradition is a long-passed Thai ancient tradition, with its beginnings in the beliefs and way of life bound to the watercourse in many cultures.

This tradition is usually held on the night of the 12th or 15th, twilight, 12th month of the lunar calendar, which coincides with the late rainy season when a variety of waters fill the banks and the weather begins to cool.

The origin and main purpose of the Loi Krathong tradition:

🙏 Worship of the Ganges: It is the most widespread belief, believing that Loi Krathong is a request and thanks to the Ganges for giving water to drink, eat and cultivate throughout the year, including as a worship for blessing life with happiness, prosperity, and floating suffering, suffering, disease to float with the Krathong.

🙏 Buddha Worship: There is a legend saying that floating a cockerel is the worship of the Buddha marks that sit on the banks of the Namthantee River in India, or some legends say that it is the worship of Chulalmani in paradise.

🙏 exorcised: believe that floating a cockerel is floating bad things out of life; to start over with auspiciousness.

🙏 other folk beliefs: In each locality, there may be specific beliefs, such as floating a cockerel to remember an ancestor, asking for a blessing from a sacred thing, or asking for a water owner.

Historical evidence:

The tradition of Loi Krathong is clearly evidenced from the time of Sukhothai, appearing in the "Book of the Queen," or "The Textbook of the King," which mentions the Queen of the Fall, the heroine of the Fall, who took the initiative to invent the Krathong of the Lotus to fall, causing devotion, and allowing the Loi Krathong to be held annually, but there is a debate about the fact that the book of the Queen was composed in the early Rat-Goin rather than in Sukhothai.

Whatever the origin, the Loi Krathong tradition has become part of a beautiful and important Thai culture. Great celebratory events are held throughout the country, especially in provinces with major rivers such as Sukhothai, Ayutthaya, Chiang Mai (Yi Peng Tradition) and Bangkok. "
