Chakri Memorial Day
2025-04-06 | Chiang Mai Thailand, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Thailand observes Chakri Memorial Day as a public holiday on April 6th every year. Officially known as “King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke the Great Day and Chakri Dynasty Memorial Day,” this holiday commemorates the establishment of the Chakri Dynasty by King Rama I in 1782, over two centuries ago. One of King Rama’s first decrees was to make Krung Thep (“City of Angels,” also known as Bangkok) the capital of Siam.
Chakri Memorial Day not only commemorates the coronation and contributions of King Rama I but all the kings of the Chakri Dynasty, culminating in His Majesty King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X), the current reigning monarch.
On this national public holiday, government offices, banks, and schools are closed, though other businesses may remain open and are unaffected by the celebrations. Chakri Memorial Day is always held on April 6th, just a week before the annual Songkran Festival (Traditional Thai New Year).

Songkran-Thai New Year 2025
2025-04-13 - 2025-04-15 | Chiang Mai Thailand, Chiang Mai, Thailand
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!
As 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!

Coronation Day
2025-05-04 - 2025-05-06 | Bangkok Thailand, Bangkok, 10100, Thailand
Many countries have days that celebrate or commemorate the head of state. For Thailand, the Coronation Day, or Wan Chatra Mongkol, is an auspicious occasion to celebrate the coronation anniversary of the Thai monarch. Rituals are performed on the royal regalia which symbolizes kingship. In the current reign of King Rama X, Coronation Day marks the anniversary of His Majesty’s coronation on 4 May 2019.
The rituals performed on Coronation Day developed over time. In the reign of King Rama IV, the King, in his private event, made merit to celebrate the royal umbrella or chatra (ฉัตร), the Thai symbol of kingship. As a result, Coronation Day in Thai is called Wan Chatra Mongkol (วันฉัตรมงคล) meaning “Auspicious Day of the Royal Umbrella.”
The merit-making ceremony for Coronation Day rituals was held privately in the Grand Palace until King V turned it into a state event. In his reign, Coronation Day’s ceremony included the conferral of Order of Chula Chao Klao, firing of gun salute, paying homage to the late kings, and merit-making in celebration of the Royal Regalia. In the reign of King Vajiravudh (Rama VI), merit-making for the late kings was added to list of rituals. Nowadays, in the current reign of King Vajiralongkorn (Rama X), Coronation Day celebrations span three days, with the May 4 announced as a public holiday.

Royal Ploughing Ceremony
2025-05-09 | Thailand, Thailand
The Royal Ploughing Ceremony, also known as The Ploughing Festival, is an ancient royal rite held in many Asian countries to mark the traditional beginning of the rice growing season. The royal ploughing ceremony, was also practiced in pre-colonial Burma until 1885, when the monarchy was abolished.
In Thailand, the ploughing ceremony dates back to the Sukhothai Kingdom (1238–1438). According to Quaritch Wales, a former adviser to Kings Vajiravudh (Rama VI) and Prajadhipok (Rama VII) of Siam (1924–1928), in his book Siamese State Ceremonies, the Thai adopted the Ploughing Ceremony in toto from the Khmers when they obtained the freedom from Khmer Empire upon the independence of Sukhothai in mid-13th century.
Other than a morale-boosting strategy, the Royal Ploughing, or the auspicious ceremony of Charot Phra Nangkhan Raek Na Khwan (จรดพระนังคัลแรกนาขวัญ) as called in Thai, serves to announce the beginning of the growing season. The ruler or head of state will preside over the ceremony to deliver this message to the people.

Vesak (Buddha Day)
2025-05-12 | Chiang Mai Thailand, Chiang Mai, Thailand
Visakha Bucha Day is an important Thai holiday traditionally observed by Buddhists in South Asia, Southeast Asia, Tebet and Mongolia. The festival is marked on the full moon day of every sixth lunar month, which typically falls in May each year. The day marks three Key Events in Buddha’s life: the birth, enlightenment, and death of Buddha.
In Thailand, where Vesak Day is known as Visakha Buja Day (Visakha Puja Day), Buddhists usually make merits by going to temples, vowing to keep the Buddhists precepts, offering food to monks, listening to Dhamma Talks and practicing Vipassana meditation in the temples.
In Chiang Mai, Visakha Bucha Day is celebrated by many locals walking 11kms to the summit of Doi Suthep Temple.

H.M. Queen Suthida Birthday
2025-06-03 | Bangkok Thailand, Bangkok, 10100, Thailand
The Queen’s Birthday is a national holiday in Thailand held annually on June 3rd since 2019. If June 3rd falls on a weekend, the holiday will be observed on the following Monday.
This holiday marks the birthday of the current queen of Thailand, Queen Suthida.
The birthday of Queen Dowager Sirikit will also remain a holiday as National Mother’s Day on August 12th.
His Majesty the King named General Suthida Vajiralongkorn na Ayudhya the new queen on May 1st 2019 and conferred upon Queen Suthida the formal title of Her Majesty the Queen Suthida Bajrasudhabimalalakshana on May 4th 2019.
The Queen was born on June 3rd 1979 in Hat Yai, Songkla, Thailand, to Kham and Jangheang Tidjai. She graduated from Assumption University in 2000. She took up a job as a flight attendant with Jalways Airlines – which is now part of Japan Airlines – from 2000 to 2003 and later Thai Airways in 2003 till 2008. Since 2010 Suthida had been serving in the Ratchawanlop Guards, a unit of bodyguards protecting the then-Crown Prince, since 2013, according to Thai media.
After Vajiralongkorn’s divorce from the former Princess Srirasmi, Suthida was linked to the future king romantically. By October 2016, international media had picked up on the rumours and declared her as the future consort.
The announcement of the new holiday was made by Nattaporn Jatusripitak, spokesperson for the deputy prime minister in charge of economic affairs. The proposal from the Secretariat of the Cabinet for the Cabinet’s declaration was made in response to a royal command from His Majesty the King.
Across Thailand, buildings are decorated to honour their queen, with the most splendid are in Bangkok, where many buildings and streets are festooned with coloured lights, flowers, and portraits of the queen. People are encouraged to wear purple (The Queen’s ‘colour’) to honour her and buildings in Bangkok are decorated with yellow (the colour of the King) and purple in celebration.

Kathina Ceremony
2025-10-01 - 2025-10-28 | Chiang Mai Thailand, Chiang Mai, Thailand
The Kathina, also known as the Kathina Robe Offering Ceremony, is a significant annual event in Theravada Buddhism, marking the conclusion of the three-month rains retreat (Vassa) for monks and nuns.
During this ceremony, lay supporters make offerings of the four requisites (food, clothing, shelter, and medicine) to the monastic community to replenish their supplies after the retreat.

Wan Awk Phansa
2025-10-07 | Chiang Mai Thailand, Chiang Mai, Thailand
End of Buddhist Lent. Wan Awk Phansa; literally “day of going out of Vassa”, in Thai meaning exit or leave) is the last day of the Thai-Lao observance of Vassa. It occurs in October, three lunar months after the beginning of Vassa, known as Wan Khao Phansa.
The day is celebrated in the Isan province by illuminated boat processions in Northeastern Thailand, notably in Nakhon Phanom Province on the Mekong and in Ubon Ratchathani city on the Mun River.
In Buddhist belief, Awk Phansa commemorates Buddha returning to earth from heaven. Buddha spent a three month retreat period in heaven where he visited his mother. On his return to the mortal world, Buddha’s followers presented him with gifts of food. On Awk Phansa Day, Thai Buddhists mark the event with a visit to the temple to make merit. The occasion is also celebrated with a number of different regional festivals across Thailand.
The main ceremonies feature boats of 8–10 meters in length, formerly made of banana wood or bamboo but now sometimes of other materials. The boats are filled with offerings such as khao tom (glutinous rice sweets wrapped in banana leaves) and decorated on the outside with flowers, candles and lamps. The boats are launched in the evening.
Additionally, some celebrants individually launch their own, smaller, vessels. Boat races also take place around this time in many places throughout the country as a way to please the Nāga spirits. Along the Mekong River, people launch little hot air balloons, acting as lanterns, around the night of Wan Ok Phansa.
Launching the boats (or the lanterns) symbolizes one’s wishes but also getting rid of unnecessary negative feelings.

HM King Bhumibol Adulyadej Memorial Day
2025-10-13 | Bangkok Thailand, Bangkok, 10100, Thailand
For seven decades, His Majesty King Bhumibol Adulyadej was Thailand’s guiding light. The monarch, regarded far and wide as Father to the nation, took the country out of several deadly turns with his wise counsel. His fortitude and devotion to human development were an inspiration to all. Regardless of the differences and disparities across Thai society, His Majesty was a solitary constant, a beacon of hope for Thais rich and poor, young and old, rural farmers and urban residents alike. His Majesty King Bhumibol’s selflessness, generosity and compassion will always be remembered. To honor the monarch, Thais must learn to follow in his footsteps and carry on his royal legacies. -Bangkok Post

Loy Krathong Festival 2025
2025-11-05 - 2025-11-06 | Chiang Mai Thailand, Chiang Mai, Thailand
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.
Loy 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.
Yi Peng is taking place at the same time, with it’s epic lantern festivals.

The Best Places To Experience Loy Krathong & Yi Peng [2025]

Yi Peng Lantern Festival 2025
2025-11-05 - 2025-11-06 | Thailand, Thailand
Loy Krathong coincides with the Lanna (northern Thai) festival known as the Yi Peng Lantern Festival. 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.
Swarms 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. During the festival, some people also decorate their houses, gardens, and temples with khom fai (Thai: โคมไฟ), intricately shaped paper lanterns which take on different forms.

Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival 2025
The 7th Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival
“Chiang Mai Jazz City: Let the City Play its Jazz”

What if a place wasn’t remembered by its sights, but instead by its sounds?
Chiang Mai is discovering its identity through a new melody, and that language is ‘Jazz.’

‘Jazz’ isn’t just imported music; it is an embraced culture. It is the charm of improvisation, seeping into the daily lives of the city’s people. It is a dialogue that arises between cultural heritage and the pulse of the modern era.

A “Jazz City” doesn’t mean a city with performance stages, but a city where the entire city becomes the stage. It is a city where the chatter of people, the rhythm of the wind, and the colors of the streets merge and are played out as a single song.

The 7th Chiang Mai Street Jazz Festival is a celebration where the line between artist and audience blurs, and we all become part of a grand orchestra named “Chiang Mai.”

We invite you to be part of an experience where the entire city rises to play jazz together. From December 1-4, with street jazz performances in the old town; December 5-6, 2025, with mini-concerts at leading jazz bars across the city: Moment’s Notice Jazz Club, The Mellowship Jazz Club, Mahoree City of Music, Karmar Community Space, and The North Gate Jazz Co-op; and on December 7, 2025, the main stage event at the Old Chiang Mai Cultural Center.

Come, let’s play our city’s song, loud and clear.

The Hangover Part 2- Watch Today
2026-02-22 - 2026-12-31 | Bangkok Thailand, Bangkok, 10100, Thailand
To get yourself ready and excited for a trip to Bangkok, you may want to watch The Hangover Part 2. Four idiots getting drunk in Bangkok while attending their friends wedding, what could go wrong.
Bachelor party survivors Phil, Stu and Alan endure another night of debauched revelry–this time in Thailand–in this outrageous sequel.
It’s hard to argue that the setting for the wedding seen at the beginning of the Hangover 2 is anything but stunning. The hotel is the $1500 US a night Phulay Bay Ritz Carlton in the southern province of Krabi.
