New Year’s Day: Many Thai traditional and cultural festivities are held in various parts of the country. New Year’s Day is the best and the worst time to come in Thailand. Everybody is so drunk that everything can happen. January 1 is a public holiday in Thailand and the Thais happily join in the fun of the occasion, even though the traditional Thai New Year is in April. The Buddhist merit-making ritual in the early hours of the morning and is followed by afternoon and evening merry-making and folk entertainment.
Chinese’s New Year Day In Thailand: When you are in Thailand on Chinese’s New Year Day the sounds of firecrackers can be heard exploding all over the place. Chinese New Year or Spring Festival is the most important of the traditional Chinese holidays. It is often called the Lunar New Year, especially by people in mainland China and Taiwan. In Thailand is also called Magha Bucha Day. The atmosphere in Thailand that day is arousing with the sound of gongs, cymbals and drums played throughout the fair. Is an important Buddhist holy day and many ceremonies are held during the day at temples throughout the country.
Songkran Day: Our next Thai Festival is Songkran Day. Songkran Day for me is one of the funniest festivals in Thailand. Songkran Day is the Thai New Years celebration that has roots in using water as a symbol of cleansing for the new year. Of all the feasts and festivals in Thailand, which are many, the Songkran Festival is the most extreme. It begins on the 13th April and ends on the 16th April, It is something like a Public Health Cleaning Day. Water throwing among the people in a spirit of fun and goodwill is the main activity of this festival. Do not even thinking to go out to the bars with your good clothes on that days.
Loy Krathong festival: One of the most popular Thai festival in early November is the Loy Krathong festival, when the weather is fine in the end of the raining season and there is high water level all over the country then is time for Loy Krathong. Loy is mean to float, the Krathong usually contains a candle 3 jock sticks, some flowers and some coins. The festival starts in the evening when there is a full moon in the sky, people of all ages walk and holding them Krathongs. Later on they lighting the candles and the jock sticks, they make a wish for good luck and gently they lay them Krathongs on the water.
Full moon party: Our last Thai Festival on Thai Festival - Thailand Festivals - Thailand Parties post is Full moon party. Koh Pha Ngan Is a part of the group of islands that make up the Samui Archipelago. Full moon party is worldwide famous and caters to young people that want to have fun.
