Loy Krathong is considered one of Thailand’s most beautiful festivals. It is celebrated on the twelfth lunar month when Thai people pay tribute to the Goddess of the River (Chao Mae Kongka).  The highlight of the festival will be the most beautiful Krathong contest and beauty pageant set in memory of “Nang Noppamas“, a legendary woman in the Sukhothai period about 700 years ago. Nang Noppamas was the chief royal consort of the King, named “Lithai” in the Sukhothai period. She was said to have made the first ever decorated Krathong to float in the river on the occasion. In order to complete the celebrations, it is traditional to find the prettiest young lady from each area.
