Hey ya all, I just wanted to tell you about a cultured festival held every year in Thailand. I'm sure if anyone has the chance to come to Thailand one day may all want to join this Loy Kra Tong Day. Loy Kra Tong means to float miniture boats made of leaves and flowers which are decorated in a Thai way. They are also lit with candles and we float them into the river. This festival was originated from our descendants where we float boats to show our gratitude for having good rain so our crops will flourish. Right now it is still a very beautiful festival to participate where you can meet lots of people.
If anyone has the chance you can join this great and beautiful festival when you decide to have a holiday in Thailand.
Happy myLotting, and happy loy kra tong day to everyone.

Wow, that's a very interesting holiday. It also sounds really beautiful. Maybe you should upload some pictures! It would be cool to see a lot of wonderful little leave boats floating down the river.

Yeah, I'll get onto that as I haven't uploaded any photos from my mobile yet. I'm sure I can get a few pictures of my girlfriend with them LoL. Buy yeah, it is a very beautiful festival with lots of things that you won't ever beable to experience anywhere else, so thats why I just wanted to share this with you. Oh, btw I forgot that there was also a Nang Nop Pa Mart ceremony where they pick the most beautiful girl who is dressed with Thai silk to lead the celebrations. Really cute girls attend that.
