Looking to try out some of the famously fun activities Thailand during your next visit? Then you’ve come to the right place. This section of Event Guide Thailand details all the best things to do in the way of shopping, travel, culture, art exhibitions, shows and more. If you are looking to discover individual sporting or music events, head over to those separate sections using the tabs above. Tours and day trip activities Thailand When it comes to discovering Thailand’s many world-famous attractions and destinations, you really have two main options: Either go it alone, or book a tour. While traveling from place to place on your own steam is certainly rewarding, many visitors love the convenience of booking a package – whether it is a guided tour around a temple for a few hours, or a whole day’s excursion to an island, historical city or floating market. Typically you’ll pay a cheap price which will include return travel, a guide and often food and drinks. For those in Bangkok, some activities we highly recommend would be visiting a temple (such as Wat Pho or the Grand Palace), taking an evening river cruise, learning some new skills in the kitchen […]
The majority of organized events in Thailand happen after dark. Maybe because it’s pretty hot in the daytime or maybe because people here just love to party after the sun goes down, Thai nightlife in Thailand is world-famous. So, what kinds of events can you expect at night? Not surprisingly, the majority involve music, a few drinks, and possibly a sore head the next morning. Major cities like Bangkok, Phuket and Chiang Mai welcome local and international DJs on a nightly basis, with the big events usually saved for the weekend. Aside from nightclub events, you can find festivals, beach parties, live shows and even a few comedy events. Below, find an overview of all the best Thai nightlife events in all the major cities and tourist areas including Bangkok, Phuket, Pattaya, and Chiang Mai.

Social Events in Thailand Thailand is well suited to accommodate a whole range of social events, whether they are corporate, public or private functions. As a dream destination for weddings, anniversaries, office outings and teambuilding excursions, this page contains all the information you need to know about social events in places like Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Hua Hin and the southern islands. Weddings in Thailand The wedding industry is huge in Thailand – you only have to walk down a street in an upscale area of Bangkok or other tourist resorts to see the rows of wedding organizers, dress shops and agencies. While most locals stay loyal to their home city when getting married, foreign couples looking to get married in Thailand often choose one of the southern islands as the place to tie the knot… often on the beach! The islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Chang prove the most popular with their white-sanded beaches, beach bars and fun activities. Luckily, plenty of five-star hotels on the islands cater specifically for wedding events (as well as other social events).

Phuket Vegetarian Festival Thailand. Thailand Event Guide
Phuket Vegetarian Famous Thailand Festival
This annual festival takes place during the ninth lunar month of the Chinese calendar. It is so famous that worldwide publications, e.g. Maxim and FHM, have featured the event in their magazines more than once. If sacred rituals and gruesome acts of devotion such as fire walking and self-torture are your things, the Phuket Vegetarian Festival is right up your alleyway.
The Phuket Vegetarian Festival, as known as Jia chai in the local Chinese dialect, is Taoist in its roots. People abstain from meat products and other stimulants during the 9 days of the festival. People believe abstinence will bring about good luck and help the devotees obtain good health and peace of mind.
Phuket Vegetarian Festival 2020 Details
The street processions are the main feature and focal point of the festival. To the naked eye, the acts of fire walking and self-torture can be pretty graphic yet fascinating. It is common to see devotees of the procession piercing their bodies with all manner of items, sharpened and blunt. Guys with swords sticking through the cheeks on their faces are the norm. Throughout the festival in and around Phuket Town, you will encounter hundreds of vegetarian food stalls with a selection of delectable delights.
The almost electric atmosphere has to be experienced to be believed. Thousands of people converge on the town, creating a vibrant party where the main ingredient is the hustle and bustle.
Fantastic Atmosphere, Amazing Festival
If you are in Phuket from the 13 to the 25th of October, visiting Phuket Town is a must. Many streets are closed to cars and bikes, allowing you the free reign of the town. It will be an atmosphere you have never experienced, so make the most of it if you are lucky enough to visit during this sacred time. Make sure you come along to support the Phuket Vegetarian Festival 2023.
