Welcome to the Isan Flowers Loy Krathong page!

- Loy Krathong is one of the most romantic nights of the year for couples. Everyone buys or makes a 'Krathong' - a float made out of either the trunk of a banana tree or bread, folded banana leaves, flowers, and with incense sticks and a candle in the middle.
- In the evening, you go to places where there is water (such as rivers, the sea, lakes) and launch your Krathong to pay respect to the Water Goddess (Phra Mae Khongkha) and also to send away your past year's problems and bad fortune.
- The romance is because of the tradition that couples (lovers) launch their individual Krathongs at the same time and wait to see if they float away together (instead drifting apart or coming back towards them) and whether the candle stays lit or not - and therefore gain insight into whether they will stay together as a couple happily in the future.
- Buying Sky "fire" Lanterns is also very popular
- For more information, and to see the exact date of the next Thai Childrens Day, see our useful Calendar page here

- Be Romantic! Send the person you love beautiful Krathongs from Isan Flowers (one for them and one for you) - with your other gifts - for them to launch on the evening of Loy Krathong - for your good luck together!
