Sakon Nakhon Loi Kratong 2012

Sakon city dwellers will be heading for the lake park en-masse.

Thais believe that floating a kratong (raft) will bring good luck, and they do it to honor and thank the Goddess of Water, Phra Mae Khongkha.

The Loi Kratong Parade is generally around sunset.
The parade delivers a royal kratong to the waterfront
I'll update time information later in the day.

This is also the day for the release of the Thai fire balloons, AKA sky lanterns.
