Loy Krathong Sai, Thailand's Festival of Lights, is a beautiful nighttime event, where Thai’s float ornately decorated Krathongs illuminated with candles, incense, and other decoration. In Tak province Loy Krathong is celebrated with unique custom of threading coconut shell Krathongs together and floating them in a candlelit chain down the Ping River from the 200 year-old Rattanakosin Bridge.
This Loy Krathong celebration is an exceptional opportunity for visitors to experience the atmosphere of joining the Krathong Sai or even create their own krathong in order to win His Majesty the King’s trophy. Other remarkable activities include the floating lanterns of the Royal Family, the procession of the Royal Krathong and lantern, the illumination of Krathong Sai, a light and sound presentation, fireworks, a water curtain presentation in “The Legend of Krathong Sai”, the longest Krathong Sai, local cultural shows, local food sampling, and markets featuring locally made handicrafts and other OTOP products.
