Lesson 151: Loy Krathong Night 🌕 Thai Culture + Key Thai Phrases


Listen Later

Hello, It's Anchisa from the Ling app here to share another story with you!


Why do Thai people float baskets down rivers once a year… and why does everyone keep singing the same song? 🕯️🌊

In this sparkling Loy Krathong special, I'll talk about one of Thailand’s most beautiful festivals — from ancient river rituals to the candlelit vibes of modern celebrations. Discover the story behind พระแม่คงคา (Phra Mae Khongkha), learn Thai phrases like ขอขมา (ask for forgiveness) and ลอยกระทง (float a krathong), and find out why couples hope their krathongs don’t drift apart 😅

💡 Highlights:

  • The real meaning behind Loy Krathong

  • Thai vocab you’ll hear during the festival

  • The full moon tradition and its cultural roots

  • Why people float away bad luck — and nail clippings

  • How to sing (or fake-sing) the classic Loy Krathong song


Light a candle, make a wish, and float into Thai language and culture with us! 🪷✨
