Our teachers are in the midst of celebrating the festival, by floating their “loi krathongs” into rivers or oceans near where they are currently living in Thailand. Loi Krathong translates roughly to floating lanterns, floating boats, or floating decorations.

Happy Loi Krathong!

Well today was epic. It’s Loy Krathong in Thailand and I had the absolute honor of being in the holiday parade dressed in traditional Thai garb! Loy Krathong takes place during a full moon and Thais float a handmade krathong into the water and make a wish. It is a cleansing ritual and also pays respect to the water spirits. #thailand #parade #loykrathong #tradition #fullmoon #wanderlust #holiday #travel #teachabroad #pathumthani #selfie #didimentionihatepink A photo posted by Lauren (@xlau7enx) on
