What this is
Loy Krathong is expected on the full-moon evening of 24 November, when decorated krathongs are floated to honour and thank the water. Bangkok's official venues, park rules and river programme remain unannounced, so those details must not be assumed from previous years.
Why go
- A candlelit Thai water festival
- River and park celebrations once Bangkok confirms them
- A strong focus on biodegradable krathongs
Plan it well
- Do not assume previous-year Bangkok venues will participate
- Use biodegradable materials and follow each waterway's disposal rules
- Loy Krathong is not a Thai public holiday
