Day 3 Loy Krathong Festival
So today, i went to Sathit Thepsatri School. Before this i believed that Sathit was included in its name as a School in Lop Buri. But actually its meaning was “School” for grade 7 till 12. This school was huge, and it has 6 floors with 3 buildings. It has a wide basketball field. And it is located near the Thepsatri Rajabhat University. Our first day and our first impression was very great and amazing.
Our first day here, while we’re here, we were borrowed a room by Ajarn Abb, she was a general science teacher. Actually, she was my friend’s mentor. And in our first day, we’re making the loy krathong. It was like a floating things made from banana stem and we’re closed it with banana leaves and also we added some flowers and candles on it. And it could be floated on the water. This was my first time made the Loy Krathong. It’s a little bit hard but i fell so excited.
Loy Krathong festival was a festival to commemorate about gratitude for water. Because water has a lot of benefits for human. To show the gratitude, they floated the “Loy Krathong” on the water. So after we made the Loy Krathong, we went to the Sakew (like a river) and while we were walking to the Sakew there were a parade, an elephant parade too. It’s little bit crowded but we could reach the Sakew not really hard. After we arrived in Sakew, we floated our handmade Loy Krathong on the water.
And after that, we enjoyed the Loy Krathong Festival at night with our buddies and tried some foods at night market.
