Festivals
There are countless special events held in Thailand throughout the year. Chiang Mai is a great spot to experience the Loy Krathong, one of the most picturesque and spectacular festivals. It takes place on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar. The exact date changes every year, in 2017 it will be celebrated on November 2-4. Making lotus-shaped rafts, which are then floated away on rivers and lakes is the key activity of the festival. In Northern Thailand Loi Krathong coincides with the Yee Peng - a festival of lights. On the full moon night thousands of brightly-lit paper lanterns are launched into the sky.
Songkran is the Thai New Year's festival. During this holiday major streets in cities across Thailand are closed to traffic, and are used as arenas for friendly water fights. In April, the hottest month of the year, young and old celebrants participate in this tradition by splashing water on each other. The use of chalk is also very common. In 2018 the celebrations will take place on April 13-15. The second day of Songkran Water Festival is officially the National Family Day.

Ko Samui, Ko Pha-ngan & Ko Tao
These three Central Gulf islands, located off the East Coast, are quite close together. Ko Samui is Thailand's third-largest island. Abundant tourist resources, sandy beaches, coconut trees and coral reefs are present on the island. Enjoy luxurious comfort in Ko Samui and then head to Ko Pha-Ngan to spend the craziest night of your life at a wild Full Moon, Black Moon or Half Moon party. These all-night open air events take place on a beach in Haad Rin and in a nearby forest. Thailand's party island also has a quieter side. To enjoy peace and serenity, take a longtail boat from the Rasananda to Bottle Beach (Hat Khuat), one of the island’s most remote and unspoilt beaches.
Ko Tao is the perfect place to learn to scuba dive, as there are hardly any currents and a wide selection of dive sites. You can get there by a ferry - 1.5 h from Ko Samui or 1 h from Ko Pha Ngan. Take a bike around the island and go snorkelling in the Shark Bay. However, the best places are only accessible by foot. In the Central Gulf you can also enjoy the natural splendour of the Ang Thong Marine Park and untouched coast and beaches of Cape Pathiu in Chumphon province.
