Very good. Let us have a further discussion

about what Ying Peng Festival is.

This event is about the launching of lanterns

which are small hot air balloons. Each
release of a sky lantern is a petition, small
prayer or good wishes of the person who
released it. The Chiang Mai area has been
the scene of mass sky lantern release.

Yes, that’s right. And the last meaning,

Very good.
Now that we know what the Yi Peng Festival
is, let us proceed to the second type of Yes Ma’am.
lantern festival which is Loy Krathong
Festival. Are you familiar with the flower
named lotus?

Let me see. How will you describe lotus? Lotus is a flowering plant that grows on the
surface of water. Meaning it floats on the
surface of some bodies of water like lakes.

That’s great!
Since the lanterns in Loy Krathong festivals It looks like lotus because Loy/Loi literally means
are called floating lanterns, how do they “to float”, while krathong refers to the “lotus-
look? shaped receptacles”.

The same with Yi Peng Festival, this event

also takes place on the evening of the full
moon of the 12th month in the traditional
Thai lunar calendar. And in the western
calendar, it usually falls in the month of
November.

How do Thais celebrate Loy Krathong

Festival? Please read.

(Teacher will call a student) (Student will read what is on the presentation)

Why do you think they also float lanterns on Because aside of doing petitions, small prayers
water though they already have the and good wishes, they also believe that this
launching of sky lanterns? festival originated in an ancient practice of
paying respects to the spirits of water.

How do they show respect to the spirits of They decorate their krathong with elaborately
water? folded banana leaves, flowers, candles, and
incense sticks. They put low value coins on the
krathong as an offering to the spirits and float it
on a river, canal or pond lake during the night of
full moon.
Exactly!
Tradition is said to have begun in the 13th
century when a young queen made a small
boat adorned with candles and send it
down the river.

This festival is also a ritual and giving honor. It is for Phra Mae Kongka, the goddess of water.
For whom is it dedicated?

That’s good!
And the construction of colorful boats was a
way of not only giving thanks for the
abundance of water, but also a way to seek
forgiveness for overuse and pollution.

Today in Thailand, Loy Krathong is also a

way for people to make a wish and look
toward the future.

And that is the Lantern Festival of Thailand.
