Fun Thai Fact: What does "Loi" (ลอย) mean? (A lesson from Chiang Mai's Yi Peng Festival!) เกร็ดน่ารู้ภาษาไทย: คำว่า "ลอย" หมายถึงอะไร? (จากเทศกาลยี่เป็ง เชียงใหม่) Hi everyone, this is Kruu Maem! สวัสดีค่ะทุกคน ครูแหม่มนะคะ! Every year, around late October or November, in Chiang Mai (my home city!), we are celebrating a stunningly beautiful festival called "Yi Peng" (ยี่เป็ง), which many people also known as "Loi Krathong" (ลอยกระทง). The highlight is releasing "Khom Loi" (โคมลอย), or sky lanterns, into the air—just like this! Fun Language & Culture Fact! In Thai, the verb "ลอย" (Loi) [pronounced "loy"] means "to float". This single word explains the entire festival! 1. โคมลอย (Khom Loi) — The Sky Lanterns • โคม (Khom) = Lantern • ลอย (Loi) = to float • = "The Floating Lantern." 2. ลอยกระทง (Loi Krathong) — The Water Floats • ลอย (Loi) = to float • กระทง (Krathong) = A traditional float made from banana leaves. • = "The act of floating the Krathong." ________________________________________ So, why do we float them? For Thais, this act is deeply symbolic. We float the Krathong (on the water) to pay respect to the River Goddess (พระแม่คงคา) and to "float away" any bad luck or negativity from the past year. Similarly, the Khom Loi (in the sky) is released to send away misfortunes and carry our good wishes and prayers for the new year up to heavens. Just one simple word, "ลอย" (Loi), shows us a beautiful piece of Thai culture in both the sky and the water! Have you ever seen this festival? What is an interesting festival in your culture? #LearnThai #ThaiCulture #YiPeng #LoiKrathong #ChiangMai #FunFact ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Media Credits: Video: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NVRePp7myrI&t=303s] (จากช่อง @comment_news - **Tip: Turn on English CC!**) Photo: [https://www.klook.com/th/activity/147113-chiangmai-cad-khomloy-sky-lantern-festival-2025/]

Today, I went to karaoke with my friend who sings very well. I enjoyed it about 3 hours. Singing is very good thing to stress relief to me. When I feel many stressful, I usually go to karaoke alone or with friends. My favorite thing. I'm not good at singing well, but singing is very fun! I usually sing "Mr. Children". They are Japanese band. They makes very good songs. The vocalist is Kazutoshi Sakurai. His characteristic is high tone voice. When I heard their song at first, I was so touched. His voice is so attractive. My one dream is to go to Mr Children's live concert. But they are very popular in Japan, so it's hard to get a ticket. I want to go to their concert at least once. My best song in their is "Innocent World". It has a great lyrics. On the other hand, it is very difficult to sing to me.

Today, I talked about reasons why most Japanese like baseball with my friends. Unfortunately, I don’t like baseball although I was born in Japan. That’s because it is too long to watch and there are many difficult rules. My friends said that the roles of baseball are changed by the obvious timing “three outs.” Therefore, the players also can change their mind easily. Other friend said that there are not physical contact in this sports. Japanese bodies are not bid and muscle when are compared to foreigners’ player. In fact, basketball is not suitable because American and Chinese player are very tall, so they can get the point by throwing ball to the goal about three meters higher. When this discussion has finalized, I suddenly realized one characteristics of Japanese people. That is responsibility that they manage to accomplish tasks which are distributed each other. I have heared baseball’ s position have obvious roles that is decided such as Short, Second and Third. That players can concentrate only their ordered tasks. At the result, these actions will make their winning. What do you think these ideas? Please tell me your opinions!

I had a hard time today. I got off the train in the morning and tried to get through the ticket gate, but I couldn't get through it. Because I got off at a station where I don't usually get off. I tried to pay for the insufficient amount, but I couldn't use my credit card, so my friend paid for me. Thanks to my friend's help, I was able to go through the ticket gate. From now on, I want to thoroughly review the payment method, check my commuter pass when I use a station that I don't usually get off at, and carry some cash with me. I am very grateful to my friend for helping me. She is always kind enough to help me. I also want to be the kind of person who can help my friends. I think that laziness is a disadvantage. I want to fix it now so that I don't have any trouble going out into society.
