SUMMARY:Songkran Festival
DESCRIPTION:Songkran is an annual festival which takes place over 3 days during the traditional Thai New Year\, April 13th-15th (in almost all provinces). The official Songkran festival lasts 3 days but\, in reality\, the whole week is taken over by a mass celebration as the whole country shuts down for a momentous water fight. Wild scenes of exuberance can be seen throughout the Kingdom with music\, dancing\, drinking and people drenched from head to toe. Water guns\, hose pipes\, buckets\, in fact\, anything you can get your hands on can be used to splash people\, and one thing is for certain: you will get wet! \nAs April is the hottest month of the year in Thailand\, everyone gets involved with this country-wide water fight and it brings great relief from the soaring temperatures. Songkran started as a Buddhist tradition\, using a light sprinkling of water to symbolize purification but\, as time went by\, people began splashing each other in a more playful manner until recent years\, when the entire country becomes one almighty water fight celebrated by millions!

SUMMARY:Asahna Bucha Day
DESCRIPTION:It marks the day when the Buddha delivered his first sermon (Dhammacakkappavattana Sutta) to his five disciples\, which led to The first Buddhist monk\, the completion of the Triple Gem: Buddha\, Dhamma (teachings)\, and Sangha (monastic community). \n \nObserved on the full moon of the 8th lunar month\, usually in July\, and is a National Holiday. \nOn Asahna Bucha Day\, most Thai Buddhists will visit their local wat (temple) to make merit. One way of doing this is by donating candles to the temple.

The most famous of the candle festivals is held in the north-east city of Ubon Ratchathani.

SUMMARY:Loy Krathong Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Loy Krathong is a Thai festival celebrated annually throughout Thailand and in nearby countries with significant South Western Thai cultures (Laos\, Shan\, Mon\, Tanintharyi\, Kelantan\, Kedah\, and Xishuangbanna). The name could be translated as “to float ritual vessel or lamp\,” and comes from the tradition of making Krathong or buoyant\, decorated baskets\, which are then floated on a river. Many Thais use the Krathong to thank the Goddess of Water and River\, Goddess Khongkha or to worship the Holy Buddha’s hair pagoda in heaven in Buddhist beliefs. This festival traces its origin back to India. \nLoy Krathong takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar\, so the exact date of the festival changes every year. In the Western calendar this usually falls in the month of November. In Chiang Mai\, the festival lasts three days. \nYi Peng is taking place at the same time\, with it’s epic lantern festivals. \nChiang Mai Tips: \n\nNo need to buy tickets or pay. From Tha Phae Gate square along Tha Phae Road\, down to the Ping River are all free festivities.\nParade along Tha Phae Road is free.\nCan purchase Lanterns from vendors along the way.\nCan purchase Krathong’s and release in the river across the bridge.\nThe old city hotels fill up\, so book as soon as possible.\n\n\n \n

SUMMARY:Yi Peng Festival 2026
DESCRIPTION:Loy Krathong coincides with the Lanna (northern Thai) festival known as Yi Peng. Yi means ‘two’ and peng means a ‘full moon day’. Yi Peng refers to the full moon day in the second month according to the Lanna lunar calendar (the twelfth month of the Thai lunar calendar). The festival is meant as a time to make merit. \nSwarms of sky lanterns (Thai: โคมลอย; RTGS: khom loi)\, literally: ‘floating lanterns’\, are launched into the air. Khom loi are made from a thin fabric\, such as rice paper\, stretched over a bamboo or wire frame\, to which a candle or fuel cell is attached. When the fuel cell is lit\, the resulting hot air is trapped inside the lantern and creates enough lift for the khom loi to float into the sky. \n
