งานลอยกระทงประจำปี

Definitely the most romantic of the Thai festivals, Loy Kratong is a must-experience for those visiting the land of smiles. Held on the night of the 12th full moon, Loy Kratong falls in November. Although the influx of western culture has brought with it Valentines Day on February 14th, Loy Kratong is Thailand’s original festival for lovers.  In addition to this, most Thais also float their kratong to honor the goddess of the rivers and waterways, Mae Nam, who they believe will bring good luck. This ties in with the romantic element of Loy Kratong which stems from a legend about Nang Nopamas, who was a royal consort to King Ramkhamhaeng (founder of Sukhothai).

SIS celebrated Loy Krathong Festival last Monday (November 2). Ying from Grade11 was selected to be the Miss Nopphamat in the High School Section. We thank all the parents and visitors supported this festival and making another milestone in the portal of Siam International School. The program ended with a fireworks display.
