Absolutely! They may be a little harder to find but your hotel should absolutely be able to help with that. Enjoy!

Hey Linh! Unfortunately I don’t recall a certain store — I’m sure if you walk the main drag of Chaweng beach you’ll find them quite quickly, though! Best of luck!

Where can we buy these in Koh Samui? Making a trip there soon 🙂 Thanks!

Hi Jay, I’m not so sure about the situation in Koh Phangan — I haven’t spent much time there. In Koh Samui, touts walk up and down the beach with them while in Koh Tao you can only find them in one shop. Good luck!

We’ll be on Koh Phangan and would love to launch one from the beach.

Yes, in Koh Tao where I have been living they celebrate as well but it is more water than sky based. Maybe I’ll have to come back a few different years so I can see it all over the place!

Maybe I’ll have to bring some lanterns home next time so you get a chance to see them in person! Not sure if I could put them in my luggage actually considering the fire starter.

It is just that in Chang Mai it is done with the floating candles in the sky where I think in most other parts of Thailand they float them on water. I had the pleasure of seeing it in Bangkok. https://www.bangkokpost.com/learning/learning-from-news/207234/how-to-make-a-loy-krathong-float
