Please note: You will have to teach the children the dances. Also attached is the King’s anthem. . Information about Loy Krathong in different parts of Thailand: . During the Yi Peng Festival in Northern Thailand, a balloon-like ‘Khom Loi’ lantern, a fire lantern called ‘Khom Fai’ and a smoke lantern called ‘Khom Khwan’ are flown into the sky as a symbol of letting go of unhappiness and bad luck. In Tak province, the ‘original’ banana leaf krathongs are replaced with coconut shells. The coconut shells are threaded together, placed on the Ping River and appear as glittering lights. This is where the Loy Krathong Sai Festival (or the Night of a Thousand Floating Lanterns) comes from. On Loy Krathong Day, Thai people love to visit their local temple, especially in the evening after they have floated their krathongs. The lighting of fireworks represents the same meaning as lighting candles as an act of worship. Firework displays are very much an integral part of the Loy Krathong celebration. In the Northeast of Thailand, aside from the colourful krathongs, people celebrate through joyful songs and dances.
