Make the most of Thailand’s wonderful cultural heritage with a visit to the country’s premier seaside city to enjoy the magnificent Loy Krathong Festival. Stay at the award-winning Siam Bayshore Resort & Spa, Pattaya and embrace all that is unique, endearing and captivating about the Land of Smiles.
The festival is held on the night of the 12th full moon, this year (10 November 2011). According to legend, Nang Nopamas, a royal consort of King Ramkhamhaeng (the founder of Sukhothai Kingdom), made the first krathong as an offering to Mae Nam. She set it afloat on one of the canals of the palace so that it would drift past her lover the king. The king was delighted with the creation, and thereafter it was said that if two lovers set a kratong adrift and it stays afloat until out of sight, their love will last forever. Loy literally translates to "float", while krathong is the Thai word for a sort of tray made out of banana leaves. It keeping with tradition, Loy Krathong is celebrated by floating elaborate kratongs decorated with flowers, candles and incense on just about any waterway in the kingdom (particularly rivers and canals).
