Loy Krathong 2025: Suan Sunandha celebrates tradition and environmental protection!
On November 24, 2025, Suan Sunandha Rajabhat University in Bangkok celebrated the traditional Loy Krathong Festival with the theme “Continuation of Tradition”. This festive event took place on the university's picturesque waterfront and brought together numerous participants, including the university president, executives, lecturers, students and many citizens committed to preserving Thai culture and tradition.
The Loy Krathong Festival is not only a spectacular visual event but also a deep-rooted tradition celebrated on the 15th day of the 12th lunar month. Under the leadership of the Vice President Dr. Chutikarn Sriwiboon and with the active support of Dr. Somsak Klaisang, vice president for student affairs, participants created handmade krathongs from natural materials. These small, floating bowls are part of celebrations that express gratitude to water and spiritual beings. Siamsport reports that the event celebrates Thailand's cultural roots on the one hand and aims to promote awareness of water conservation on the other.
The Importance of Loy Krathong Festival
But what traditions are associated with the Loy Krathong Festival? Goals and beliefs often vary by region. Common forms of worship at the festival include thanking the goddess Phra Mae Khongkha for water and showing reverence to the Buddha, especially at a symbolic location where his footprints are believed to be found. It is also customary to honor the sacred hair relic of the Buddha, which is kept in the Jewel Mountain of Tavatimsa Heaven. Such different aspects not only strengthen cultural cohesion, but also show respect for nature and spirituality in Thai society. Nation Thailand lists the most common purposes of the festival and illustrates how deeply rooted the tradition is in Thai culture.
In summary, the Loy Krathong Festival provides an excellent opportunity to celebrate Thailand's rich culture and highlight values such as gratitude and respect for the environment. The Rajabhat University Suan Sunandha has set a real highlight with its event, which not only invites people to celebrate, but also raises awareness for the conservation of water bodies. In keeping with the traditions and beliefs, Loy Krathong is a festival that fills the hearts of many people.
