About Loy Krathong
Loy Krathong is one of Thailand’s most beautiful traditional festivals, celebrated annually during the full moon of the twelfth Thai lunar month. People traditionally float small, decorated baskets called krathongs on waterways to express gratitude to the water goddess, let go of negativity, and welcome happiness and new beginnings.

• Thai & Asian Street Food: Authentic dishes, grilled specialties, traditional Thai desserts, and refreshing beverages.
• Arts & Crafts Market: Handmade products, jewelry, jade, Thai souvenirs, and unique gifts from local vendors.

• Beer Garden: A designated area for guests ages 21 and older.
