Dive Diary Dive News - The Koh Tao IDC Group Saturday, November 24, 2007 Happy Loi Kratong! Today is the Loi Kratong in Thailand which is one of the most wide spread and popular 'events' during the year. “Loi Krathong” is traditionally performed on the full moon night of the twelfth lunar month, which usually falls on some day in November. The floating of a ‘Krathong' – a banana–leaf cup – is intended to float away ill fortune as well as to express apologies to Khongkha or Ganga, the River Goddess. Some believe that the ritual is meant to worship the Buddha's footprint on the bank of the Narmada River, while others say that it is to pay respect to Phra Uppakhut, one of the Lord Buddha's great disciples. Lots of fun for all both locals and thai. Here on koh tao we are celebrating first in mae haad wiht local 'celebraties' singing and then flowers at sairee beach outside bans in the evening. IDC Starts on the 26 of November with 5 candidates! Staff CDs Jonas and Tim! Take care and happy loi kratong! Jonas ::
