Today is a great Thai holiday; Loy Krathong day.
This day is set aside for Thai people to say thank you to the Goddess Mae Khongkha, the Mother of Water.
Loy means to float and a krathong is a lotus shaped vessel made of banana leaves. The krathong is made of banana leaves, a candle, three joss sticks, and flower decorations.
The rainy season is just about over with and is marked by the Loy Krathong festivals
Loy Krathong Day is also "spring cleaning day"
