Festivals
in Sukhumvit, Bangkok
Top 3 Festivals in Bangkok
In the Land of Smiles, any reason to throw a party
is a welcomed occasion. Residents of this predominately Buddhist
country unofficially commemorate many foreign and Western holidays,
in addition to their own festivals centered around Thai history,
food, and music. Foreigners are almost always welcome to revel
with locals, but before you plan a trip, double-check your dates.
Many Buddhist celebrations are determined by a lunar calendar,
and so the official dates changes from year to year. By far,
the crowning festival in the Thai calendar is the New Year celebration
of Songkran. Lasting for a full week in April, Thai people gather
with their extended families to rejoice. If a full-on water
fight sounds like fun to you, this holiday is not to be missed.
Prefer your trip sans water guns? It’s best to avoid Thailand
this week because Songkran activities echo throughout the country
with large parties from Chiang Mai to Phuket.
1 Songkran
For a week every April (Thailand’s hottest month) to celebrate
the New Year, Bangkok transforms into a mysteriously empty and
almost traffic-free city as the entire country participates
in friendly water fights where tourists and businessmen are
often top targets. Pack a Super Soaker and join in the fun.
2 The King’s Birthday
At this December 5th celebration, witness the reverence and
adoration the Thai people have for their monarch, who has been
the King of Thailand since 1946. Fireworks are traditionally
released near the Grand Palace in an impressive display, and
the streets of the city’s center are decorated in his honor.
3 Loy Krathong
On the night of the first full moon in November, the Thai people
send small decorative floats, often on banana leaves, into the
water as a symbolic offering to the gods to cleanse bad luck.
Ask at your hotel for the most popular spot to watch this beautiful
nighttime ritual.
