One of Thailand’s most colourful festivals, Khao Phansa, falls on July 26 this year. This festival marks the start of the Buddhist period of Lent.
Khao Phansa is also known as the Candle Festival. Lay people visit Chiang Mai’s ancient temples, and present ornate candles to resident monks.
Temples in Chiang Mai’s old city quarter, contained within the moat, are the final destination for parades. People, wearing traditional clothing, give the sculptured candles to monks, as well as other necessities of life to sustain them through Lent.
