PM to Allow Loy Krathong Celebrations

[Dodger]

In rural Thailand, it is about Kratongs ( naturally), washing effigies and paying respects to elders. Of course, there are new clothes for the kids (sometimes) and drinking (always) but in Kamphaeng Phaet, for example, the old traditions are still respected and observed.

This seems to be true across most regions in Thailand.

Like anything else, the minute you step foot in Pattaya - you're leaving Thailand.
