Just in case you all thought we spent all our time mucking around with foreign visitors, I thought I should share with you that we actually do do Thai cultural things from time to time also!!
Loy Krathong is a festival held in Thailand once a year which signifies a person “getting rid of all the bad things” from their lives. Each person makes a small boat, sometimes simple and some quite elaborate, and candles, incense, some money, a lock of hair and a piece of fingernail is put on board. The little boats are then set adrift on the river, washing away the negative things from your life.
Paul and I were taken down to do this by Khun Aom and Khun Poo, his Thai teachers, which was quite fun and good to see people of all ages and walks of life down by the water doing the same.
