Background
Loy Krathong is Thailand’s festival of floating krathong offerings on the full moon of the 12th lunar month—romantic, nationwide and highly photogenic.
Impact on travellers
Not a public holiday. Bangkok, Chiang Mai and Sukhothai pack out; riverside temples get crowded and hotels rise. Mind safety and avoid littering.
Extra notes
Date follows the full moon—confirm annually. Chiang Mai often pairs it with Yi Peng sky lanterns.
