 Loy Krathong Festival Day
One of the most popular Thai festivals held in November is the Loy Krathong Festival which takes place after the monsoons have left the water levels high.

Loy Krathong is a name for a float decorated with banana leaves, fresh flowers, candle and incense sticks. All over Thailand on a November night after a short prayer or wish the Krathong is placed in water, traditionally a river where it  floats down stream.  It's believed to bring luck if the flame on the Krathong keeps burning until the float is out of sight.

The festival celebrations in Chang Mai, Thailand saw a beautiful display of floating lanterns sent into the nights sky as can be seen in the video below.
