Problems that happen every year on Loy Krathong night
Even though Loy Krathong is one of Thailand’s most beautiful festivals, every year after the celebration ends we often see the same picture repeat: “rivers full of krathong waste.” It becomes a major public issue that people talk about again and again.
According to environmental agencies, in the past year more than 500,000 krathongs were collected in a single night in Bangkok. Over 30% of them still used non-biodegradable materials such as foam, plastic, or coated paper, which directly harms aquatic ecosystems.
In addition, there are issues of excessive resource use, such as cutting banana trunks, banana leaves, and wild flowers — as well as traffic problems and pollution from fireworks and lanterns.
Therefore, the Loy Krathong Festival 2025 (2568) is a great opportunity for us to “float happiness without adding a burden to the planet” — through online Loy Krathong, which is safe, convenient, and environmentally friendly.
What is Online Loy Krathong (Virtual Loy Krathong)?
“Online Loy Krathong” or “Virtual Loy Krathong” is the digital version of the tradition. Users can go to a website, choose a krathong, enter their name and a wish, then click “float” on the screen.
Not only does it reduce waste in rivers, but it also makes it possible for anyone, anywhere, to join this Thai tradition more easily.
Popular Online Loy Krathong Websites in 2025 (2568)
There are now many websites in Thailand hosting creative online Loy Krathong activities — from government groups to private organizations to media platforms. Below are 5 popular websites you should know.
1. The Old Siam Loy Krathong
The Old Siam shopping center hosts a “Loy Krathong Online 2568” activity on its own website.
Participants can choose from several beautiful krathong designs, type their name and wish, and then float it in a simulated pool of water. You can also save an image of your own krathong as a keepsake.
Highlight: Traditional Thai-style krathong designs with a warm, festive atmosphere that feels close to a real event.
2. Longdo Map Loy Krathong
Thailand’s well-known mapping platform allows users to “choose a real location on the map to float their krathong.”
The system then generates an image of a krathong floating in that location, along with the participant’s name and wish.
Highlight: You can see your krathong on the map alongside others across the entire country — creating a sense of nationwide connectedness.
3. MThai Loy Krathong Online

Highlight: Beautifully designed graphic krathongs, and fully mobile-friendly.
4. Sanook Season – Loy Krathong
Another entertainment website joining the eco-friendly approach. They created a “Season of Light” space where people can float krathongs online.
Users can pick colors, decorate the krathong, and add a wish message freely.
Highlight: Animated krathongs with gentle music, creating the feeling of standing beside a real river at night.
5. E-Card by the Ministry of Culture (ecard.m-culture.go.th)

Users can choose an image, write a blessing, and send it to friends or family via email or social media.

Why should we join Loy Krathong online?

It helps reduce waste in rivers — no need for banana trunks, banana leaves, or foam.

Modern print media for Thailand’s digital-era festivals
As online Loy Krathong activities become more common, businesses and organizations can begin blending that idea with “modern printed media” in a seamless way.
Examples of how to apply this
-
Loy Krathong 2025 (2568) posters with QR codes — print just one poster and let people scan to join the online activity instantly.
-
Festival stickers — place them on products, bags, or drink cups, with a QR code that links to the online Loy Krathong website.
-
Corporate greeting cards — include a QR code to share digital blessings instead of mass-printing large volumes.
This approach not only helps reduce cost, but also saves resources and turns printed materials into “living media” that connects the physical world and the digital world on a single piece of paper.
How to make online Loy Krathong meaningful
Even if you’re not physically at the river, the spirit of online Loy Krathong is still the same: “letting go of negativity and beginning again.”
Before you click “float,” try writing a short message about something you’re grateful for, or something you want to change in your life. You may find that floating a krathong on a screen can bring you just as much calm as standing by the water.
