Aquatic Candle Parade Festival
(ประเพณีแห่เทียนพรรษาทางน้ำ ลาดชะโด)
Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya
Candle festival is an old tradition of Thailand. Khao Phansa day people will give a large candle to temple so the monks can use it for 3 months. Now we have electricity the candle would not used but we conserve this beautiful tradition for next generation many people around the world knew the candle festival of Ubon Ratchathani that I wrote in another page (click to see Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival) now I pleased you to meet Aquatic Candle Parade Festival, the objective of both festival is the same the difference is we will parade the candle along the canal all of boats decorated with flowers, carved candle, Buddha picture and girls in national dress this make Lad Chado canal look strange and amazing. This festival is held at Lad Chado market, Phak Hai district, Ayutthaya. This market is more than 100 years old you can find some homestays here and enjoy many activities after candle parade such as Muay Thale, funny boxing on a rod etc.
