The Chao Phraya River is the main focus for celebrations with bridges and buildings decked out in bright lights for the occasion. This year I will go there.
Do you like Loy Krathong?

I am in phu weing if you know the place ...a bit nice but i back home only new years and songkran ...up to my mood heh
Same as most then. I'm the opposite. I traveled for NYE and Songkran in my first year here.
That was a lesson learned.
For the past nine years it's been either staying around home or overseas for both of them. Bangkok is actually quite nice at New Year as everyone has buggered off.

Loy krathong songkran 55+
I was in Bangkok for Loy Krathong in the seventies. I did not even know about it, when I booked the flight. I liked it a lot then, peaceful crowds. One major drawback, plastics were the rage at the time and they floated huge amounts of non biodegradable junk. I have heard they abandoned that folly quite quickly.
I was at the Bangkok Zoo which had opened for that night. Then to a street carnival, where I was the only farang, as far as I could see. They had a ferris wheel of maybe 5m height that was hand driven. Nice memories.
"don't attribute to malice what can be adequately explained by incompetence"
The markets have mostly black and white lanterns this year. Not cheerful at all. Makes me feel sad.
Loy Krathong is drunk Thai guys playing with ordinance. There is a sweet side in the villages for sure though.
^ Yeah buts its good for a perve & a beer.
. One of the better nights out down by the water.
. Is fishing banned during Loy krathong ? Be a good night for squidding *
