Happy Loi Krathong!
People gathered by the river in Surat Thani on the night of the full moon.... 10 November 2011, to place in the water, a small lotus shaped boat made out of banana leaves... adorned with a candle, incense, flowers and maybe even a coin. Before sending the boat out into the river, prayers were offered and wishes were made.
It is believed the festival began as a way of showing respect of the water gods.
