Thailand Travel Series: Loy Krathong at Ao Nang, Thailand

This is Part 9 of the Thailand and Cambodia Travel Series. Read Part 1 Here.

THE LOY KRATHONG FESTIVAL is well-known for how it is celebrated. In November, people across Thailand gather at the banks of rivers or the sea to set candle-lit floats adrift. Krathong refers to a piece of wood wrapped in banana leaves and flowers with a candle on top. It is a time to show respect to the water from which much of Thai agriculture and lifestyle revolves around, as well as to say goodbye to misfortune and make wishes for the coming year. Loy Krathong is based around the Lunar New Year, so the exact date it falls in November will vary each year.


One of the most exciting places to be during this time is in Northern Thailand: Chiang Mai. That is because Loy Krathong often occurs around Yi Peng, which is the famous lantern lighting event that graces many magazine covers. However, we enjoyed our time in Ao Nang as well. It was certainly quieter, but we found a hotel that taught us how to make a krathong and then we gathered on the banks of the sea to set them off. Of course with these festivals, ecological factors are a big thing to consider. Krathong options that are biodegradable (like those made out of bread) are becoming more commonplace, but avoid ones made out of Styrofoam.




Being part of Loy Krathong was a great wrap up to our journey. We had one train ride left to depart back up to Bangkok, because it was time to say goodbye to Thailand.

Year of the Rat (Changeling Sisters IV) Cover Reveal



“Welcome to the Red Night. Scurry, scurry, little mice. Wait too long and the Lords of Walking Death shall find you…”



THE DRAGON’S PEARL has shattered in the heart of Seoul, unleashing a storm of curses great enough to drive people into a mindless zombie rage. Sensing an opportunity to crush the Were Nation’s stronghold once and for all, the Frost King Aleksandr lays siege from the north with an army out of Slavic legend. Meanwhile within the city, something more terrible still haunts the frightened civilians.

Still reeling over the shock of betrayal, Citlalli Alvarez has been separated from her half-sister Raina and her family. Now trapped inside a nightmarish Seoul and unable to make contact with the outside world, Citlalli’s werewolf pack teams up with the dragon-shifter Yong twins in a desperate last stand. As Were agencies from across the globe intervene to stop the spirit world’s secret from leaking out, Citlalli, Sun Bin, Ankor, and Vampyre Prince Khyber attempt to find the lost Dragon King, who may be the only one powerful enough to save Seoul.

Meanwhile, Raina gets drawn into Rafael’s crusade for revenge that takes them deep into the mountains of Japan to the Vampyre Court’s notorious Death Palace. However, a familiar face from Rafael’s past reemerges, and Raina is faced with a choice of how far she will go for vengeance.

As the war against the Vampyre Court engulfs the streets of Seoul, no one is safe and nothing is certain. Before the Red Night can end, the price of power must be paid.
