Loi Krathong is an annual festival that takes place in November at the full moon. Thailand goes bonkers for around 3/4 days resulting in the floating of flowers with candles and incense on a banana leaf and various other options.

There is also a carnival on the river which is meant to celebrate the life blood of the city,The Chao Praya River. For those of you who have seen the Somerset Carnivals, it’s very similar.

On the night itself, it was just heaving with people eating all sort of good and dodgy things, hence the picture of bugs that Neil is going to sample……one day when he feels a tad braver!

Off to Kanchanaburi next to the infamous Bridge on the River Kwai.
