Happy Loy Krathong!

Ian celebrated the annual Loy Krathong festival (Nov 12th) in style, wearing his traditional Thai outfit while lighting his 'Krathong'. We went to our local park, which has a large lake where we helped Ian launch his Krathong (which means raft in Thai and traditionally made from banana tree leaves). The launch was done under the night of the full moon, where across Thailand many people will release small rafts like this on rivers, ponds and lakes to celebrate. It is a wonderful event, very colourful and romantic too! Ian was helped by Nanny Margaret, and got a hug from his girlfriend Nina too!
