  Record of November, 2000  
 
  We travelled to Pattaya at the end of October, 2000.  
  For some reasons or else, we used to visit only Pattaya.  
  Although package tour to Larn island is current in Pattaya, we travelled to Larn island by ordinary boat
  from pier of Pattaya to Larn island because price of package tour is rather expencive.  
  Only travellers from overseas seem to use expencive package tour.  
  Festival called Loikratoon seems to be similar to Toro Nagashi in Japan but it is a little bit different.
  Loikratoon is kind of festival to thank the God of Water with regard to agriculture,  
  whereas the Japanese Toro Nagashi is a ceremony to honer the memory of departed.  
  You can enjoy carnival, night stall, exhibition of dancing and singing by the children and so on.  
  As for Loikratoon, there is no gloomy mood of Toro Nagashi ceremony in Japan.  
  Children are looking forward to enjoying in the festival of Loikratoon which is being held  
  on the night of full moon in December in old calender.  
  note:  
  Toro Nagashi (灯籠流し): a Buddhist ceremony in which paper lanterns are floated down a river,  
  lake, or out to sea.
