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.
