Loi Krathong in Bangkok 2559 B.E.

Loi Krathong is an annual festival in Thailand, which is celebrated at the full moon night of the 12th lunar month. Yesterday it was that time again. People released lotus-shaped baskets adorned with lighted candles, incense and flowers, called Krathongs, onto the water. Due to the passing away of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the Loi Krathong was celebrated on a smaller scale this year (which is 2559 Buddhist Era in Thailand). Although firework and sky laterns were not allowed in Bangkok at all, the Chao Phraya River still glow on a very special light. My pictures were taken at Pom Phra Sumen, Phra Nakhon, Bangkok.
