Loy Kratong: #cocobkk photo essay

Ah, Loy Kratong…That magical day of the year when holidaymakers young and old gather near bodies of water throughout Thailand to release decorative floats in hopes of earning merit and good luck.  

We asked Coconuts Bangkok readers to hashtag pics of Loy Kratong festivities with #cocobkk on social media to put together these photos of the fun last night.

We’ll be updating this throughout the day, so add the tag to existing pics on Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, and Google+ if you’d like to be included.

Suk san wan Loy Kratong!
