Loy Krathong is held on the full moon day of the 12th month in the Thai traditional lunar calendar. The name ‘Loy Krathong’ can be roughly translated as ‘to float ritual vessel or lamp.' For many Thai people, the Krathong is used to give thanks to the Goddess of Water or pay homage to Buddha's hair pagoda in heaven. The festival's origins can be traced back to both India and China and the occasion is marked in various Asian countries (albeit with different names) including Cambodia, China, Myanmar, and Sri Lanka.
