Loy Krathong


Last night into the small hours the staff and children of Phi Phi Villa Resort sat together on the floor in the small office, making the Villa Loy krathong. A little production line of creativity, everyone sharing the same vision of the finished Loy Krathong. Today they are taking it in turns, around their jobs, to finish placing the flowers.
Loy Krathong, literally means floating boats made from banana palm. These little boats are decorated and filled with candles, incense and in some cases coins or personal things. The Festival encourages rememberance and togetherness - its always held on the full moon of the 11th month - and acts as a marker of a year passing and another year beginning.
Phi Phi Villa Resort wish everyone a happy Loy Krathong day
