Festival Chiang Mai On November

Chiangmai morning monk for donation

Thai women spend hours preparing beautiful offerings to the spirits of the waters. Called Kratong, these are made a small boat, cut from the trunk of the banana tree, that is decorated with colorful flowers-orchids, African Marigold and roses and banana leaves cut into decorative shapes. A candle and three sticks of fragrant incense are devoutly placed into the kratong`s center, and occasionally, money is added in the hope that this gift will find its way to the spirits of one`s ancestors

On the evening of 22nd November; as Thais have since olden days, candles and incense will be lit and the kratong placed in flowing water. This ancient and dazzling ceremony of water and fire is performed to ask forgiveness for consuming and abusing water. The kratong also carries away bad feelings, and pays homage to the water spirits for providing water for all our daily needs. The custom is based on deep-rooted animistic beliefs and goes back to the worship of Nature

Their elders hold dinner parties, and Bangkok riverside hotels take advantage of this special evening to draw in the crowds. Old as this festival is, it has very real modern-day meaning, as our precious natural resources become scarce and polluted. The lovely event is a valuable reminder of our place in the natural cycle and our dependence on Nature gifts.
