All upcoming holidays for Thailand.

Thailand is a country located in Southeast Asia, known for its beautiful beaches, temples, and vibrant culture. There are many holidays celebrated in Thailand, some of which are religious and some of which are national holidays.

One of the most important holidays in Thailand is Songkran, which is the Thai New Year. It is celebrated in mid-April and is known for its water festival, where people splash water on each other to symbolize the washing away of bad luck and sins. It is a time for families to come together, visit temples, and make offerings.

Another important holiday is Loy Krathong, which is celebrated in November. It is a festival of lights where people release small boats made of banana leaves and decorated with flowers, candles, and incense into rivers and canals. It is believed that by doing this, they are letting go of their troubles and sending them downstream.

In addition to these holidays, Thailand also celebrates religious holidays such as Vesak Day (Buddha’s birthday), Asalha Puja (the day Buddha gave his first sermon), and Makha Bucha (the day Buddha gave a sermon to 1,250 monks).

Thailand also celebrates national holidays such as National Children’s Day, National Teacher’s Day, and Constitution Day. Overall, Thailand is a country with a rich culture and many unique holidays that reflect its traditions and beliefs.
