🏮 ~ Loy Krathong & Yi Peng on the same day : Full Moon Festivals, Thailand ~ | Blogger: Back here at my location, one of the many island of Thailand, several festivals is ongoing on sacred temples of today and tomorrow, 11:11, a (smaller) festival is taking place, near me... And no, it's not crazy party time at Ko Pha Ngan (i'm too old for that s***)... |

In 2019, Loy Krathong falls on Wednesday, November 13 (festival begins on November 11, ends on November 13). It is a light festival (or known as Thailand Lantern Festival) in Thailand on the full moon day in November. The festival is celebrated nationwide by releasing lotus-shaped baskets, decorated with candles and flowers onto the rivers. Chiang Mai, Sukhothai, and Bangkok are the best places to celebrate the festival while visiting the country. Planning your trip to Thailand well will have more fun!

Yi Peng, another light festival, is celebrated on the same day alongside Loy Krathong in Northern Thailand, especially in Chiang Mai. It is different in that lights are placed into sky lanterns. Swarms of sky lanterns, decorated with good luck wishes and prayers are released to the sky. Yi Peng usually starts 2 days earlier than Loy Krathong. In 2019, Yi Peng Festival will possibly be observed on November 11.
