Loy Krathong 2013 - Singapore

Loy Krathong which means "floating crown" is an annual festival which is being celebrated in Thailand, Laos and other part of Burma. The event is  always celebrated during the full moon of the 12th month of Thai calendar. This is an ancient ritual paying respect to the water and to give thank for the life it brings to the people.
 
Last night it was also celebrated in Singapore which was organised by Thai Association Singapore. It was held in Tawandang Microbrewery, Dempsey Hill. I was invited to attend this cultural event by a Thai friend, Wachiraporn. She participated in a beauty pageant called "Nang Noppamas".
 
During, the entire show I witnessed the richness of Thai culture.
