Loy Kratong translates to 'float a kratong'. A kratong is a lotus shaped vessel that can float on water. Typically Thai people place food, joss sticks, candles and coins into a kratong. Kratongs are placed on a river, canal or any other body of water with a current so that the kratong can float into the distance. Thais believe that the longer the kratong floats the better the chance of the individualis wishes coming true.
