Re: Loy Krathong 2015
Hi Pete
Have you any update on this please. I will be in Hua Hin on 24th and Bangkok on 25th. The word in Bangkok seems to be Loy Krathong on 25th.
Would like to make some plans for 24th in particular, before we leave HH.
Cheers
Peter

Re: Loy Krathong 2015
My Thai diary also lists it as the 25th. The rest of the dates for this year have been correct so far, so I assume this one is also.
May you be in heaven half an hour before the devil know`s you`re dead!
Re: Loy Krathong 2015
I got it from a TAT email newsletter. If they're wrong they should be hung! Let's all check other sources to confirm. Pete

Loy Krathong 2015 in Bangkok
Where to Enjoy Loy Kratong in Bangkok on November 24
http://www.bangkok.com/whats-on-events/loy-krathong.htm#
Chiang Mai has it as 3 days, 24-25 and 26.
Wiki has it as the 25th
Full moon chart says that the full moon for November is on the 26th
At this point I am totally confused
We need a definitive source from somewhere. It may be different towns have their festivities on different days during the 24-26 period? Pete

Hi Pete, all,
Looks as though you have checked the same sources that I did, Soooo we are all confused now.
If anyone gets a definitive answer, please post.
Cheers

My daughter's school says the 25th as well. Time to start asking Thais today, including the wife who I haven't consulted yet. coming my way for that I'm sure! Pete

Hi,
We will be heading back to Hua Hin early next week and have been advised by the Hyatt that Loy Krathong is on 25th.

Re: Loy Krathong 2015
^ That's more or less the consensus I got as well. Although the full moon is listed for the 26th so there are some hold outs in my neighborhood still saying the 26th. I still have no clue where the 24th is coming from on some Bangkok listings. Pete

Re: Loy Krathong 2015
Hope it is the 25th as we have arranged to arrive on the 24th. Would hate to miss it.
The wife got the date from a friend who got it from a friend, so it must be right.

I've lost my mind and I am making no effort to find it.

Re: Loy Krathong 2015
Just about every bit of water including the beach will have something going on! Personally I find the sea a bit of a disappointment as the Kratongs get washed back by the waves. I have recently been going to the floating market, but it's a bit quiet. My wife has suggested trying out the new walking street this year and combining it with dinner.
Enjoying 'Retirement'....So many jobs to do, I don't know how I ever had time to work!
Re: Loy Krathong 2015
Khao Thow is probably the most popular and you can float your kratong on the lake. Be warned that it's very very busy and parking is out of town with quite a walk to the festivities.
Re: Loy Krathong 2015
I see posters are starting to go up around town stating festivities in Hua Hin will be 24, 25 and 26 Nov, with 25th being the main day. We will of course post local events as soon as we are made aware, but feel free to advise us of any local events you hear of.
