Loy Krathong Festival Bangkok 2026

Loy Krathong in Bangkok falls on the evening of Wednesday, November 25, 2026. It is celebrated across the city wherever there is water. The most vibrant festivities occur along the Chao Phraya River, featuring beautifully decorated floats, cultural performances, night markets, and stunning firework displays.

• Lumpini Park: The best place for Loy Krathong in Bangkok, and a peaceful green space where families and couples gather to float krathongs on the lake. The Lumpini Park Loy Krathong is one of the highlights of the Loy Krathong celebrations in Bangkok.
• Asiatique The Riverfront: A lively venue that is characterized by cultural shows and vibrant night markets. Asiatique the Riverfront is a very popular night market destination which has been open for only a few years. Popular amongst locals and tourists, it is a big night market converted from a vast warehouse. As it is situated right on the Chaopraya River, celebrating Loy Krathong – the Thai light lantern festival – feels especially festive here. With all the lighted boats going up and down the river, the plentiful, luxurious hotels dotted along the coast and the biggest Ferris wheel in Thailand as a background, this location will surely provide the best ambience to celebrate this festival.
• Chao Phraya River: Floating a krathong here, with the backdrop of Wat Arun and luxury dinner cruises, you will feel that the Loy Krathong Chao Phraya is a mesmerizing experience.
• ICONSIAM: A modern riverfront shopping complex that hosts impressive Loy Krathong performances.
• Wat Arun, a majestic temple along the Chao Phraya River, is known for its gorgeous architecture. Witness a spectacular sunset over the river and participate in the Loy Krathong festivities. Enjoy light shows, live music, and a wide array of Thai food and desserts.
