Everything was wonderful from the beginning to the end. We were welcomed with traditional dances and music accompanied by local food and drinks. Various activities could be done: making Krathong boats and then letting them flow into the river, origami and other recreational activities, we could also chat with the Buddhist monks there. At about 7 p.m. we had dinner with a buffet that included pad thai and other Thai dishes. After dinner, we went to an outdoor area for the very famous lantern toss. An experience to be had at least once in a lifetime. Every time I review the pictures and videos taken, I try to relive the emotions I experienced.

Food was not good at all and there wasn't enough. The emcee for the event was very annoying. The performances were pretty good though.
