Chiang Mai Lantern Festival 20 18 What day is Thailand's loi krathong Raiders?

Today, Bian Xiao tells you about a traditional Thai festival, which is loi krathong. I don't know if you know this festival. In short, you can participate in 1 1 month. This is an interesting activity. Let's give you a detailed introduction in Bian Xiao.

Every year 1 1 month, loi krathong is held in Thailand. At this time, water lanterns floating on the water can be seen in cities and towns, near river ports or by lakes, so it will be very romantic to go at this time. You can plan your play time.

Activity time This year's loi krathong will be held in seven places in China on June 5438+065438+ 10/7, and there will be activities of different scales in every place one week before and after. Chiang Mai is in Tapemen and other places on June 5438+00- 18, and Sukhothai is in June 5438+03-65433. Dafu is15-20; Samut

Songganfu is in King II Park and Ampawa17; Supanfu is on the bank of Tajin River 17.

Precautions for buying sky lanterns When you are in loi krathong, you can see sky lanterns for sale everywhere, even at the entrance of the venue. But remember, the free venue is too low to bring your own sky lanterns, and you need to buy the organizers' sky lanterns after admission. The sky lanterns issued by the organizers are basically the same price, and the case is the same. Someone will check at the gate, but now many venues are charged.

The weather in Thailand 1 1 month is not as refreshing as that in autumn, but it will be a little muggy and humid compared with June 5438+February. It's a season that needs air conditioning, and sometimes there will be showers, so let's take rain gear and poncho.

Other precautions: rent a car early, preferably for a few days. There will be a large-scale sky lantern activity around Chiang Mai and Richter Craton, located in the open space of meditation center behind Qiantiao University in the suburbs.

In fact, besides the beautiful sky lanterns, the celebration ceremony also has a very good local atmosphere. You can see boys and girls, or parents and children holding water lanterns, or towers, boats and lotus flowers. I want to tell you that lotus-shaped water lanterns are the most numerous and the most beautiful. There are usually incense sticks, flowers and small colored paper flags in the middle of the water lamp to show respect for the Buddha, but some people will put a few coins on the water lamp to show charity. Before turning on the water lights, everyone will light incense sticks, close their eyes, mumble something, and then start praying. However, most young men and women come here to pray for love.

Loi krathong night in Thailand is getting more and more lively, and many people will flock to the river, harbor canal and lake. As long as it belongs to the European water, there are people who look at more water lamps or water discharge lamps. In Bangkok, every year, the municipal government, together with civil and commercial enterprises and schools, holds a grand and lively water lantern festival at the airport near Royal Yard. The activity is basically one day, and there are also some activities such as water lantern design contest, miss water lantern beauty contest and singing contest. Many hotels, docks and bridges along the Mekong River are also crowded with people. By the way, there will be firecrackers and fireworks. But firecrackers are generally forbidden.
