Including allowing people to use natural materials to make krathongs. To reduce the amount of waste By asking for people’s cooperation in using krathongs made from natural materials and refraining from using foam. It promotes Loi Krathong along with protecting the environment. And campaign to float krathongs together, 1 family, 1 krathong, choosing krathongs made from natural materials. Or materials that are easily biodegradable and environmentally friendly, such as krathongs made from banana leaves and banana leaves. Tapioca flour, bagasse or even bread. Reduce the burden of sorting during this year’s Loy Krathong Festival.

In addition, this year will be the first year that people will be invited to Loy Krathong online. See the digital Krathongs in the middle of Ong Ang Canal. Bangkok has campaigned on the concept of Loy Krathong in a new way. Focus on saving the world in a new way Invite people to join in Loi Krathong digitally This is the first time that the public is open to participate in the online Loy Krathong activity. and view digital Krathongs on the water surface of Ong Ang Canal through a large projector with street performance activities and tasting of retro food At the foot of Bophitphimuk Bridge, Ong Ang Canal, those attending the event do not have to bring their own krathongs. You may just have to bring your mobile phone with you to participate in Loy Krathong online. Therefore, I would like to publicize We invite everyone to know that this year there are a variety of Loy Krathong selections to choose from.
