The month of July marks two of the most important events in the Buddhist calendar. They are Asanha Bucha Day, to commemorate the day when the Buddha delivered his first sermon over 2,500 years ago, and Khao Phansa, or Buddhist Lent Day, when candles are offered to monks at the beginning of the three-month Buddhist Lent period. Though these candle celebrations can be seen in various parts of Thailand, the main one in Ubon Ratchathani Province always promises excitement and astonishment.
Numerous other events and festivals also happen in this month, such as the Phi Ta Khon Festival, food festivals, and music festivals, and well as many other sport events, which are listed below:
– Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival 2024, from 17 to 23 July, at Thung Sri Mueang in Ubon Ratchathani province;
