Loy Krathong Day

Yesterday was a Loy Krathong Day or I called Full Moon Day . It is one of the important day of Thailand and very famous . Many foreigners known this day very well and they came in Thailand to join in this festival . Loy in Thai word mean float and Krathong is a leaf cup . It made from a trunk of a banana tree and decorated by banana leaves and many flowers . And in a Krathong we would sticked a candle and incense . Some people also put a coin in but I don’t know what for . In this time , many people like to used a bread to make Krathong because it can disband easily and a bread might be a food of many fish . Futhermore , it was unpolluted to the nature .

An objective of this ceremony is to show their respect and to apologize to a goddess of water . Her name is Kongkla . Thai people believe that she protect them , make their life better and riched of water to use all year . So , Thai people choosed this day to made a Krathong and floated it on the river and they hope goddess Kongkla would forgive them .

For me , I leave my home about 8 P.M. to went to Loy Krathong with my mother and my oldest brother . My father didn’t go with us because he went to the southern of Thailand to do his work . For my another brother , he went to Loy Krathong with his friend . But I didn’t think so . I thought he go with his girlfriend . He lie because my mother doesn’t want him to have girlfriend in this time because it was too fast . And she afraid that he will lose his learning . I think I agree with her because every mother will choose the best thing for her chind .

Back to a Loy Krathong story . I called a taxi to a public park not far from Central Rama II . There are a lot of people and many booths of food and Krathong . I bought a medium size of Krathong for fifty baht . Before I floated it I lighted a candle and incense . And I said apologize and wished many things to a goddess Kongkla such as about Thailand , I hope Thailand would calm in soon . About my family , I hope my mother and my father would healthy . The last thing for my own , I wished to successful in my learning and my life . After that , we went to buy a little bit foods and snacks . Seek some place to eat . And Look a beautiful colors fireworks on the clearly sky . Then we came back home about 10 P.M.. I was so tired and sleepy . I took a bath and went to bed . Finished happy Full Moon Day .
