The Loy Krathong Festival marks the end of the rainy season in Thailand and is one of the country’s most cherished traditions. People float beautifully decorated krathongs on the water to make wishes and let go of negativity, symbolizing renewal and peace. This sacred ritual has been celebrated for centuries, and we’re proud to share this beautiful Thai tradition with all visitors and guests here at @akathailand. | AKA Thailand
