Chiang Mai Celebrates Loy Krathong Festival in November
Chiang Mai, Thailand (ContentDesk) October 17, 2005 -- November in Northern Thailand brings
the change from rainy season to cold season.
With that change coincides the annual Loy Krathong Festival.
This year Chiang Mai will celebrate Loy Krathong from November 15 to 17 in a three-day long event on the Ping river.
ExporThai.com is commemorating the festival by offering special Loy Krathong products for wholesale sale worldwide.Chiang Mai, in the mountains of Northern Thailand, has three seasons hot, rainy, and cold.
According to tradition, 600 years ago a princess of the Sukothai Kingdom in Central Thailand fashioned small floating offerings of banana tree and flowers in order to thank the rains and the river for their life-giving waters at the end of the rainy season.
Soon after, the new festival was adopted in the Lanna Kingdom where Chiang Mai is found.
Celebrated on the first full moon of the second lunar month, in the North the festival is usually called Yee Ping (Second Full Moon).This year, Chiang Mai will host the three-day long festival beginning November 15.
The festival includes dragon boat races, beauty contests, lanterns, candles, and parades of traditional costumes.
Parades take place in front of the Chiang Mai municipal offices on the Ping River on all three nights.
Dragon boat races are on November 15.
Krathong means offering and Loy means float.
On November 15 and 16, the banks of the Ping river will be illuminated by the offerings of thousands of residents and visitors as they set them afloat to give their thanks and good wishes to the river.In rural areas, homes will be decorated with hundreds of Loy Krathong candles. Small flat candles in terra cotta dishes are placed in rows of hundreds or thousands.
Combined with the light of the full moon, the site is unforgettable.For Thailand-lovers who are unable to come to Chiang Mai, Thailands premiere on-line wholesaler, ExporThai.com, offers traditional Loy Krathong products for sale.

Your Intuition and Romance - Using all Six Senses to be More Romantic
"Knowing what your partner wants and needs is your sixth sense or intuition at work." - Heidi Richards
Call it intuition. Call it ESP. We all have it and can use it to create a lasting romantic relationship. When our sixth sense is in full gear, it's like one of those timeless moments between two people when nothing else in the world matters and no one else exists. I'm not talking sex, here.
I am talking when two people connect on a level beyond the physical. Let me explain. I was married for 16 years to a good man; he was a good father and a good provider. In fact, we seldom had any conflict in our lives. For some women that might be enough.
And yet something was missing from our relationship. He just didn't "get" me. Even after 16+ years of marriage, he didn't really know what I liked or what made me tick. It was inevitable that we would not stay together forever. Then I met a man whom I have been with for nearly 14 years.
It was like he knew instinctively...

A poem or verse is a literary composition used to express emotions or ideas using literary techniques like rhyme and metaphor. Although there are no set rules for creating poetry, these tips will help you create your own baby shower verses:
1) Often, a one-line verse may be all you need. Short verses are good for personalized gifts where there is limited space, like engraved candles or personalized gift tags. An easy way to create an effective verse is to have a word in the middle rhyme with a word at the end of the verse.
2) If the baby already has a name, then their name can potentially be used in the verse.
The new parents' names can also be used if desired. Try to write down as many words that rhyme with the selected name, then construct a verse.
3) Four line verses are quite popular for baby shower poems. The easiest form of such poetry is to have the second and fourth line rhyme. To brainstorm, try to write down as many baby...
