THAILAND’S EXCITING FESTIVALS Thailang is famous for its exciting festivals. They often last several days and attract large crowds from all over the world. Thousands of people help to decorate the towns and cities colorfully, set up stages and competitions, create parade floats(制作彩车) , and plan entertainment. The Loy Krathong Sai Festival(水灯节) The Loy Krathong Sai Festival is an amazing event held in North Thailand in November. This is a three-day event in which residents place various floats in the river as offerings to the water spirits. Floats are typically made of leaves and are filled with such things as candles, incense and flowers. Before people release their floats, they pray and make a wish, which the water spirits are supposed to make come true . Another beautiful part of the Loy Krathong Sai Festival is the releasing of lantern balloons. Just as with the floats, people make wishes before they release their balloons into the sky, and there are often thousands of lantern balloons lighting up the night sky. Fireworks are also a common event during the festival, lighting the sky with many exciting colors. There are many fun activities during the day as well, including such things as balloon competitions(放气球比赛), inner tube races(推轮胎比赛), diving competions(跳水比赛), musical entertainment(音乐会) and dinnerboats(上船就餐). Perhaps the most exciting event of the festival is the big parad. Chiang Thai Nationsa Elephant Festival(清迈国家大象节) Chiang Thai National Elephant Festival is held in March and is perhaps the most exciting Thai festival of all. Elephants have made a large historical contribution to Thailand in many different aspects including transportation, agriculture and even wars. Thus, Thais have much respect and admiration for these big beasts. Thailand’s Water Festival Thank You * *
