This belated blog (Loy Krathong was months ago...) is dedicated to the Loy Krathong festivities in Thailand. We celebrated Loy Krathong through activities at my school and followed that up with the festival at the river. Loy in Thai means "float" and the Krathong is what we put in the river and let float away. We took the Chao Praya river boat for around $2 ands stopped right in front of the beautiful lit-up Wat Arun. One of my favorite Thai celebrations thus far :)

| Krathongs similar to the ones we bought (about $2 USD). |

| Some of the more interesting Krathongs for sale, made of ice cream cones! |

| Putting my Krathong into the water for good luck! |

| In front of Wat Arun after floating my Krathong away and hoping for good luck! Too bad when I put it in the water it immediately tipped over. You could hear the people on our boat collectively "awww" when it happened. |
