Traditionally Loi Krathong is a festival to honor and celebrate rivers. Krathongs are little handmade floating flower arrangements, made out of banana leaves and decorated with various flowers and beautiful leaves. A small candle and three sticks of incense complete the krathong. People take their krathongs down to flowing water ( a river or canal) and set them adrift. The longer they float the better your luck. Chiang Mai is one of the most popular destinations for this festival and here on the Mae Ping River, as you can see, krathong back ups can and do occur.
