BANGKOK, Thailand – It’s that time of year again (Loy Krathong Festival, Nov 15), and we’re here to remind you: avoid using bread krathongs along with other food-based materials like fish food krathongs and ice cream cones. These types of krathongs pollute the water, taking one night to float but four months to clean up!
Instead, choose environmentally friendly options, like natural leaf krathongs, banana leaf krathongs, or even ice krathongs.
In the digital age, online krathongs are also a great eco-friendly option to celebrate Loy Krathong and help protect the environment!
