The King's Birthday is on the 5th December. The King is much revered throughout Thailand, and all Thais celebrate his birthday, with government buildings, private homes, businesses and the palace especially illuminated.
Loy Kratong
01/11/2010 - 30/11/2010
Some of the most beautiful sights are the festivities relating to the Loy Kratong, held on the night of November's full moon. All over the country, little floats (kratong) are made from banana trunks, flowers and candles and set afloat on the water.
Songkran
13/04/2011 - 15/04/2011
Place: Koh Samui
The most frenetic festival in Thailand is Songkran, the Thai New Year and what would appear to be a national water fight. Held from the 13th to 15th April each year... it's a wet one!
