Yesterday was Loy Kratong, probably the most colorful and beautiful celebration in Thailand. Everybody dress up in traditional costume and make home made kratong (basket made out of banana leafs) to later release them in the water in order to get ride of everything bad that happened over the past year.

Here are the pictures we took during that day, starting by the Kratong making session in Aquarius during the day, then the party in the streets of Patong, followed with the release in Karon lac. You can see high definition pictures here on flickr.

Happy Loy Kratong !

Let’s remember the past Loy Kratong celebrations: 2009

We started at the bar with free food and free drinks for all our guests. Just after diner our staff made a special show, a good occasion to see an other side of them…

At midnight, we all went up on the rooftop terrace which is the best place to be: every hotel launches it’s own firework in Patong and we are right in the middle, surrounded by thousands of lights.

Then we went to the gay bars next street to celebrate the event!

You will find the photos here on Flickr

New year in Aquarius
