As Thailand marks Loy Krathong on 5th November, The Luxe Nomad gets ready to offer a rare and immersive cultural experience for its guests in Phuket and Koh Samui.
As the nation celebrates its beloved festival of gratitude, reflection, and renewal, guests get to learn more about the holiday through hands-on experiences.
These include complimentary krathong-making workshops where they can craft their own lantern floats before releasing them into the water under the full moon.
Timeless traditions come to the fore
The krathong, a delicately decorated float of banana leaves, flowers, incense, and a candle, is the festival’s most recognisable symbol.
However, beyond its tranquil beauty, its deeper meaning is not commonly known outside of Thailand.
According to Thai tradition, strands of hair, nail clippings, or coins are sometimes placed inside the float as tokens of negative energy to be released from one’s life.
As the krathong drifts away, so too do the misfortunes, symbolising a fresh start.
At its heart, the ritual honours Phra Mae Khongkha, the Hindu goddess of water, as Thais ask forgiveness from the river and express gratitude for life-sustaining waters.
The Luxe Nomad celebrates the Festival of Light
Beyond its symbolism, Loy Krathong is one of Thailand’s most significant cultural events, celebrated nationwide and in Thai communities across the globe.
It is both a personal ritual and a shared experience, blending artistry, spirituality, and togetherness.
That said, guests staying at The Luxe Nomad’s properties in Thailand can join exclusive complimentary krathong-making workshops led by locals on 5th November to learn time-honoured folding and floral techniques while immersing themselves in the Thai spirit of light and renewal.
