Koh Panak Cave
The word “Loy” means “to float”, and “Krathong” means lotus-shaped vessel made of banana leaves. Loy Krathong is, therefore the floating of an illuminated leaf bowl. But nowadays some krathongs are made of coloured paper. A krathong usually contains a candle, three joss sticks, some flowers and coins.
The history of Loy Krathong Festival is slightly obscure. First, it is to ask for apology from the water goddess for having used and sometimes made rivers and canals dirty. Second, it is to offer flowers, candles and joss sticks as a tribute to the footprint of Lord Buddha on the sandy beach of the Nammatha River in India. Third, it is to show gratitude to the Phra Mae Kong Ka or Mother of Water. Fourth, it is to wash away the previous year’s misfortunes.

المراجعات
The food was also absolutely incredible, some of the best food we had in Thailand, would recommend this trip to anybody, totally worth the price and an unforgettable experience.
The only complaint I have is the size of the tour. It would probably not bother most people, but I usually only book small groups and there were a large number of people on the boat. On the up side, they put you in the kayaks 2 people and 1 guide, so you are very pampered in that regard. Our guide was wonderful!!
There are a very large number of tourists in Phuket these days, so the only way you are going to get a more private experience is to book an expensive private tour.
Overall I would recommend this tour.
