Loy Krathong floats a small offering, often cut from a banana stem, for the water on the full moon of the twelfth Thai lunar month. In 2026 that full moon is 24 November at 14:53 UT. In the north, Yi Peng sends lanterns up on the same night. One is a river rite. The other is a Lanna sky rite. A city that bans lanterns is not a place to ignore the ban.
The page does not sell a krathong kit. Karthigai Deepam is the Tamil lamp night of the same moon.
