After making our ain krathong at dwelling on Sat (see Making a Krathong), at that spot was plenty of fourth dimension earlier the level festivities got underway. We had non decided where to become together with loy (float) our kratong... nosotros ordinarily caput for the Bang Wad reservoir where hundreds, peradventure thousands of people inward the Kathu surface area become every twelvemonth for Loy Kratong. The reservoir is the largest inward Phuket amongst an 800m long dam together with people assemble at that spot every level for picnics past times the H2O together with jogging on the dam (see Bang Wad Reservoir). This twelvemonth nosotros idea almost going somewhere different, similar peradventure Patong (thought i time again - certain to live on a large party, simply likewise crowded together with parking a nightmare), or Karon (same equally Patong together with farther from dwelling too), or peradventure Rawai beach (much quieter)...

We headed for the H2O together with lit the candle together with incense together with allow our kratong drift into the water.. a fleck wonky, simply afloat nonetheless...
Lots of kratongs were already floating together with plenty to a greater extent than people were waiting to float theirs. Hope everyone gets practiced luck this year!
At the reservoir there's quite a political party going on - lots of nutrient stalls together with quaff stalls together with hey! Draft Chang Beer for xc Baht a liter - can't tell no to that! We flora a few friends together with sat downwards for a quaff together with a few snacks...
