The energy and spirit that inhabits a city during a festival season is simply unparalleled and not to be missed. The richness and grandeur of Bangkok festivals are on par with its street food and culture. One of the many reasons why countless tourists flock to Bangkok every year is because of the variety of experiences it has to offer. You can go there for food or for the historic & cultural attractions, the amazing hospitality or just to get lost in a beautiful foreign city, there’s something for everybody. Apart from the myriad of above-mentioned options, festivals are also a big reason for pulling tourists to Bangkok and much like the other options here too Bangkok offers variety. Most of the famous Bangkok festivals take place over a span of few days like the Songkran festival and Vegetarian festival Bangkok.
The people of this city celebrate many festivals every year but the most popular Bangkok festival is the Songkran. Songkran is the Thai New Year observed by Thai and Malaysians. During the Songkran festival the entire city comes to a standstill and gets ready to celebrate. Apart from the rituals a large number of water sports also take place throughout the city where people have fun splashing water at each other.
The vegetarian festival in Bangkok is a religious festival of deep significance and is observed all over Thailand every year. It is also known as the Nine Emperor Gods Festival and throughout the nine days, it takes place people abstain from eating meat of any kind to show devotion to their gods. The festival is known for its highly unusual rituals where devotees undergo less intense and non-irreversible forms of self-mutilation and self-flagellation.
If the vegetarian festival in Bangkok sounds too intense for you then check out the colorful lantern festival in Bangkok. Known among the Thai population as Loy Krathong, this is just the kind of festival that attracts the type of foreigners who travel abroad to experience something completely different from their own culture. This quintessentially South Asian festival is observed to celebrate the harvest season by releasing lanterns called Krathong in rivers, ponds or lakes. In many places across the country, ethnic dance performances and beauty contests are also hosted during this festival.
Phi Ta Khon, also known as Ghost festival is a fun event where people dress up like ghosts, often by wearing strange and highly decorated masks. The festival draws its origin from Buddhist traditions and is a celebration dedicated to the deceased. Several formats of the festival are popular across South East Asia.
Some of the other fun non-religious festivals popular in Bangkok are the Bangkok motorbike festival and Royal Barge Procession along the Chao Praya River. When it comes to Bangkok any celebration is not complete without food and music, so here is a list of festivals dedicated to exactly just that: Bangkok gourmet festival, Maya Music Festival, Songkran Music festival, Mad Face Food Festival Bangkok and many more.
The exciting blend of colorful festivities and exotic food is enough to bring any fun-loving person to Bangkok. Walk through the streets of Bangkok on a busy festival day and let the joyous spirit and cultural exorbitance wash over you.
