You do not need every day. If time is short, post just three: the opening-hours notice, the main post and the thank-you.
Loy Krathong captions by tone: warm, funny, romantic and for shops
Loy Krathong captions repeat because they are written from broad feelings anyone could type. The easiest way to stand out is to add one real detail only your shop or page has, such as a place name, a person or a bestseller at the fair.
Before
Happy Loy Krathong, wishing everyone happiness
After
Third Loy Krathong by the canal outside our shop. Wishing every regular customer a full night's sleep before tomorrow's bake
Swap a broad feeling for something that really happened at the shop (invented example)
Every block has variables in curly braces. Replace them with your own facts before posting.

Captions for shops
For a shop account, split captions into three beats: hours before the day, the theme post on the day and a thank-you after. Each has its own frame.
First beat: hours before the day
Holiday opening-hours notice
ExampleFilled example
On Loy Krathong, Green Leaf Plants is open 10:00-17:00. Orders accepted until 16:00. Order or ask in the page chat.
Second beat: the theme post on the day
Theme post tied to a product
ExampleFilled example
A foldable sun and rain umbrella for Loy Krathong night, because it is easy to carry while walking the fair. Before you go, want to know the folded size? Message us. (Invented example. Use only reasons your product really has.)
Third beat: thank-you after the day
Thank-you after the day
ExampleFilled example
If you took a photo of the plant you bought for decorating at the fair, send it to us in chat. (Always ask before reposting a customer's photo.)

Appropriateness and copyright for images and music
Loy Krathong means a lot to many people. A joke that pushes selling too hard, or an image used without permission, can hurt a brand quickly. Run this checklist before posting.

WarningBusiness account music
Some platforms limit popular music on business accounts or ad posts. Check the terms in your own app first and choose music from a library marked as usable commercially.
Example posts before, during and after the day
These examples use an invented plant shop, to show that each period differs in the job of the post, not in how pretty it is.
Example posts before, during and after the day (invented shop)
Scroll the table sideways to see the remaining columns
The post before the day does not have to be the prettiest, but must be readable in 5 seconds and give hours, order channel and shipping run. The day-of post leans on the photo and the feeling; hours go briefly at the end of the caption.
Hashtags and posting times to test
There is no hashtag set or posting time that is best for every page. The set below is a starting point to experiment with, not a set proven to work.
Starter hashtag set
ExampleFilled example
#ลอยกระทง #ลอยกระทง2569 #GreenLeafPlants #ChiangMai #indoorplants
A simple test: post three similar posts at different times, such as afternoon before the fair, early evening when people head out, and late evening after floating. Then open Insights and compare how many people saw each and how many messages came in. A systematic method is in best time to post for Thai audiences.
Keep the captions for next year, updating just 3 things
This caption set and timeline can be reused. Keep this year's results and update three things next year.
Check the date for that year
Loy Krathong follows the lunar calendar, so it moves every year. Check a holiday calendar first, then count 7 days back.
Change the year and real details
Update the year in captions and hashtags, and swap real details such as the shop's year count, place or a new product.
Keep this year's results to compare
Note which posts were saved or messaged most and use them as next year's model.

What date is Loy Krathong 2026
Tuesday 24 November 2026 per the holiday calendars of Kapook and Sanook. It falls on the full moon of the 12th lunar month, so it moves every year.
How should a shop write a Loy Krathong caption
Give hours and the order channel first, then add one real detail of your shop, such as a place or product. Avoid jokes tied to the ritual or promises of luck.
How many days before Loy Krathong should I start posting
About 5-7 days before is enough. Start with the opening-hours notice, then post gradually. You do not need to post daily.
Can I use Loy Krathong songs in a selling clip
It depends on the platform and account terms. On a business account, pick music from a library marked usable commercially and check your own app's terms before posting.
How many hashtags should I use
There is no fixed number we can confirm. Start with 4-6 that match the post, then compare several posts in Insights.
Summary
Prepare on Tuesday 17 Nov, post on the timeline and add one real detail of your shop to each caption. That alone makes yours different.
If your page is new and Loy Krathong posts still get no reaction, see services for Instagram followers or Facebook likes: priced per 1,000, no password needed, PromptPay accepted. But added followers are not customers; sales still come from the product, posts that answer a need and customer care. See everything at Instagram and Facebook services.
