Bangkok’s Loy Krathong Festival – A celebratory treat for locals and tourists alike

The annual Loy Krathong festival in Thailand, a celebration dedicated to the Water Goddess,  is set to take place in the early weeks of November and is renowned as the Festival of Lights in the country. It is enthusiastically observed in places both in and out of Bangkok, making it a favourite among tourists, especially those staying in Pattaya beach resorts. Releasing beautiful handcrafted rafts, or Krathongs into rivers and various bodies of water, the festival is a spectacle to behold.

For tourists staying at certain properties like the Avani Sukhumvit Bangkok, witnessing the serene spectacle of the Krathong gently drifting along is quite soothing.  As one of the more cultural things to do in Sukhumvit, It offers an excellent opportunity to immerse oneself in Thailand’s rich history, and many hotels flourish their own version of the event at swimming pools at their location.
