Must-See Festivals and Events in Thailand in July 2025
July 2024 promises to be a month of vibrant festivals and cultural events throughout Thailand, offering both locals and tourists a variety of experiences that showcase the rich heritage and lively spirit of the country.
Phi Ta Khon Festival
Location: Dan Sai District Office and Wat Phon Chai, Loei
In the northeastern city of Dan Sai, Loei Province, the annual Phi Ta Khon Festival, also known as the Ghost Festival, will take place. This vibrant event is famous for its colorful costumes, ghost masks, and lively parades. Participants will dance through the streets, accompanied by music and traditional performances, celebrating local folklore and inviting good fortune.

Asahna Bucha Day (Public Holiday)
One of the most important events on the Buddhist calendar, Asahna Bucha commemorates the day Buddha gave his first sermon. Asahna Bucha Day is a public holiday in Thailand, and as one of the most significant religious festivals of the year, there are restrictions on alcohol sales.
Expect large celebrations at Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok, Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai, and Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Rai.
Khao Phansa Day
The day after Asahna Bucha is known as Wan Khao Phansa, marking the beginning of the three-month “Phansa” retreat period during the rainy season when monks traditionally stay within their temple grounds. This retreat is sometimes called the "Buddhist Lent".

For Asahna Bucha and Khao Phansa, there is a tradition where Thai Buddhists donate candles to their local temple. This ancient tradition has evolved into elaborate candle festivals, with the most famous being the Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival in northeastern Thailand.
Krachiao Flower Fields 2024
Location: Pa Hin Ngam National Park and Sai Thong National Park, Chaiyaphu
I recommend visiting Chaiyaphum Province in northeastern Thailand to see the beautiful landscape created by the Siam tulip – or Dok Krachiao – which blooms fully every year at the start of the rainy season, from June to August. Tourists wishing to visit the park must first purchase their entrance ticket through the QueQ app before arriving at the park entrance. The park is open daily from 06:00 to 18:00.
