Loy Krathong is one of Thailand’s most beautiful festivals, and making your own krathong is a fun and meaningful way to join the celebration!
Here’s how to make one:
Base: Cut a thick slice of banana tree trunk (or
use bread for an eco-friendly version).
Decoration: Arrange folded banana leaves
around the base to create a flower shape.
Add flowers: Decorate with colorful flowers like
marigolds, orchids, or jasmine.
Candle & incense: Place a small candle and
three incense sticks in the center.
Personal touch: Add a coin, a strand of hair, or a nail clipping to symbolize letting go of negativity.
Float it: On Loy Krathong night, place your Krathong gently in the water and make a wish
Have fun!
