- Celebrate Thailand’s Annual Festival of Lights with Special Amari Loy Krathong Packages-
Dubai, 6 November 2013
– It’s that time of the year when all Thais come together and celebrate
Loy Krathong or the Festival of Lights. The annual festival is a
special occasion for couples and families to re-energize their spirits
and commitment with each other through Thailand’s magical and colourful
candle-lit festival. To encourage international visitors to join in the
celebrations and festivities, Amari Vogue Krabi and Amari Emerald Cove
Koh Chang are offering special Loy Krathong packages ensuring value and
enchanting memories for all.
Loy Krathong is one of Thailand’s most popular annual events and this year will fall on the weekend of November 16 and 17, 2013.
Celebrated in the evenings, thousands of elaborately candle-lit flower
and banana leaf offerings are set adrift into Thailand’s many rivers,
symbolizing the drifting away of ill fortune. ‘Loy’ means to float and
‘krathong’ is a banana leaf cup. When witnessed in their thousands
quietly floating downstream or into the ocean, this unique spectacle is
at once both breathtakingly beautiful and emotionally moving, and not to
be missed by anyone visiting Thailand.
Amari’s “Loy Krathong
Packages” are tailored for couples and families to make the most of this
special occasion and include special activities, spa treatments,
gourmet experiences and generous complimentary extras. Both Amari Vogue
Krabi and Amari Emerald Cove Koh Chang resorts are offering the special
packages, which are available within a limited time period in November
2013.
