MAJOR EVENTS
Andaman
Sea Festival
This Festival takes place in November and celebrates the opening
of the tourist season in Krabi. Water sport competitions,
cultural shows, and good-natured fun are the schedule.
The Setting Adrift of the Chao Le Boats
takes place on Ko Lanta during the full moon night of the
sixth and eleventh lunar months. This is a religious rite
performed by Sea Gypsies or "Chao Le" who
gather on the beach near Ban Saladan Village. They dance their
famous "rong ngeng" round the boats to be
set adrift. Ceremonies feature singing and dancing. The reason
for the fest is to bring prosperity and happiness to the participants.
