AYUTTHAYA, Oct 31 (TNA) – The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is promoting multiple Loy Krathong Festival 2020 celebrations in five provinces, expecting at least one million revelers and about 1.2-1.5 million baht to be circulated during the events.
Tourism and Sports Minister Pipat Ratchakitprakarn on Friday presided over the opening of the Loy Krathong festival at the Ayutthaya Historical Park, which will run until today in line with the new normal practice.
Highlights at the event are cultural shows, a traditional Krathong procession, firework displays, a puppet show and premium craft and food markets.
The minister said this year, the TAT hosted the Loy Krathong festival at five unique destinations including Chiang Mai, Sukhothai, Tak, Samut Songkhram and Roi Et to celebrate one of the Kingdom’s oldest and most colourful traditions.
The events feature the local ways of life and the organisers also focus on the new normal practice under the public health ministry’s measures to prevent the Covid-19 transmission. (TNA)
