Celebrate Loy Krathong at Kata Rocks
Celebrate Loy Krathong at Kata Rocks
Celebrate the traditional Thai Loy Krathong festival with us in Kata Rocks on November 8th at 6:30 pm. This annual special occasion celebrates the Thai New Year by setting afloat a ‘Krathong’ to the water and saying goodbye to the ‘bad’ and welcoming in the ‘good’ for the New Year.
We invite you to join us at Kata Rocks Clubhouse for a special Thai family-style set dinner menu, priced at THB 999++ per person from 6:30 pm – 8:00 pm, and to light and float your Krathong in the pool after sunset to bring good luck to you and your family for the new year.
The history of Loy Krathong dates back thousands of years and originated from Brahmin, Hinduism. It pays respect to the water spirits, and most importantly to the water goddess, Phra Mae Khongkha. The festival was adapted in Thailand to also show respect to Buddha.
Loy Krathong takes place each year on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. This means the exact date of the festival changes every year. In the Western calendar this usually falls in the month of November.
A krathong is generally made from a piece of banana tree trunk decorated with leaves, flowers, incense, and candles. As per tradition, you decorate the krathong yourself but these days they also can be bought in many places. Just before you set it afloat, light the candles and the incense to honour the spirits. Adding a coin, a piece of nail and a hair to the krathong signifies letting go of the old, allowing the new and good luck to enter your life for the new year.
Kindly make your Loy Krathong reservation here. We look forward to welcoming you to Kata Rocks.
