Romantic & Dramatic Festivals
Thailand has a number of festivals which hark back to a time when the pace of life was slower and the simple pleasures were deeply satisfying. Festivals like the romantic Loy Krathong, the dramatic Elephant Round-Up and the artistic Candle Procession at Buddhist Lent are all wonderful to experience.
