Hello, It's Anchisa from the Ling app here to share another story with you!
Why do Thai people float baskets down rivers once a year… and why does everyone keep singing the same song? 🕯️🌊
In this sparkling Loy Krathong special, I'll talk about one of Thailand’s most beautiful festivals — from ancient river rituals to the candlelit vibes of modern celebrations. Discover the story behind พระแม่คงคา (Phra Mae Khongkha), learn Thai phrases like ขอขมา (ask for forgiveness) and ลอยกระทง (float a krathong), and find out why couples hope their krathongs don’t drift apart 😅
💡 Highlights:
The real meaning behind Loy Krathong
Thai vocab you’ll hear during the festival
The full moon tradition and its cultural roots
Why people float away bad luck — and nail clippings
How to sing (or fake-sing) the classic Loy Krathong song
Light a candle, make a wish, and float into Thai language and culture with us! 🪷✨
