The Digital Loy Krathong festival is held to preserve Thai culture while minimizing environmental impact, featuring projection mapping technology that allows participants to float their krathongs digitally. Traditionally, a krathong is a small floating container made from materials like banana leaves, bread, and compressed foam to hold offerings like a dish or dessert. The event takes place at four main locations in Bangkok as part of the nationwide Loy Krathong celebration, held on the full moon of the twelfth lunar month, which falls on 15 November this year.
