This last month or so has been one of new experiences and excitement. We were lucky to be able to experience the fun and very beautiful Thai festival called Loygratong. This festival lasts for four days on the weekend of the full moon in November. It consists of people letting off paper lanterns and small floating flower arrangements called gratongs. This was a fantastic time for us as we spent all four days celebrating. We had a party in our housing area where we made our first ever gratong and set off lanterns. We then spent the next few days in the centre of Chiang Mai watching the parades (which on the last day lasted over six hours), letting off lanterns which had fireworks attached to them, floating gratongs and setting off fireworks.
