24 Sep, 2024 Lanna Lantern Festival
A krathong is traditionally a small floating container fashioned of leaves
which is made to hold a small portion of goods like a traditional Thai dish
(such as hor mok) or dessert. The traditional krathong used for floating at
the festival are made from a slice of a banana tree trunk or a spider lily plant.
Modern krathongs are more often made of bread or Styrofoam. A bread krathong
will disintegrate after a few days and can be eaten by fish. Banana stalk krathongs
are also biodegradable, but Styrofoam krathongs are increasingly banned,
as they pollute rivers and oceans. A krathong is decorated with
elaborately-folded banana leaves, three incense sticks, and a candle.
A small coin is sometimes included as an offering to the river spirits.
On the night of the full moon, Thais launch their krathong on a river, canal, or a pond,
making a wish as they do so. The floats are thought to have been introduced to Chiang Mai
in 1947 and have since been incorporated into Thai culture. Government offices,
corporations, and other organizations launch large decorated krathongs.
There are competitions for the best of these large krathongs. Beauty contests often
accompany the festivities and fireworks also have become common.
