Loy Krathong is one of Thailand’s most beautiful and peaceful festivals, celebrated across the country with floating lanterns and candle-lit offerings. These photos of Loy Krathong capture the atmosphere and visual beauty of the event.
During the festival, people release small floating baskets, known as “krathongs,” onto rivers, lakes, and the sea as a way of letting go of bad luck and showing respect to the water. The result is a stunning display of lights reflecting across the water.
This gallery gives you a feel for the calm, magical vibe of Loy Krathong, from quiet local moments to larger celebrations in popular areas.
