2. Ghost Festival:

Ghost Festival in Thailand is also referred to as Phi Ta Khon wherein religious traditions are combined with local handicrafts and a fun loving party atmosphere. The events take place over three days and the actual date is chosen by the town’s mystics according to the lunar calendar. This festival which goes on for three days is mostly renowned for the colorful masks that are worn by the locals. The masks are of various forms and sizes which are decorated in bright and gaudy colors. The origin of this festival is from Buddhist and animist beliefs.

3. Lantern Festival:

Lantern Festival takes place every November and is indeed one of the most remarkable sights which you would see with lanterns all over the sky which gives it a perfect beauty. On the banks of the Peng River, there are thousands of paper lanterns which are released into the sky which float away in the evening breeze. It is considered to be a rather gentle affair than most of the other Thai festivals. Releasing lanterns is indeed one of the most photogenic parts of this festival. This festival is not only about lanterns but also about parades and religious ceremonies.

4. Rocket Festival:

Rocket Festival or Boon Bang Fai celebrated in the month of May is an important festival or an event which is attended by the villages before the planting season.
