Summary
| Description | Original caption: A krathong is small container or basket made of banana leaves, adorned with flowers, incense and candles. Loy Krathong means “to float a basket” which is what many people do during the festival on one of the three days. The Thais see this as a time to wave goodbye to misfortune, wash away sins of the past year, and make wishes for the coming year. Often people will say a prayer before launching the krathong. For the romantic at heart or young couples, Loi Krathong is the time to make a wish for happiness together. watching the route that a krathong takes is a popular way for couples to predict what the future holds for their relationship. As a photographer, I was lucky to have access to a good vantage point to photograph people performing this yearly ritual. I tried to capture the spirit of the event. |
