Hi,

I have heard that the best celebrations of this festival takes place in chang mai and sukhothai. Since, I put up in BKK, and BKK do has a river but its a very crowded place usually during this festival.

Thai people, what do u suggest is the best bait for a weekend getway to go and enjoy this festival? Anywhere outside BKK and near to BKK location would be highly recommended

I understand that Sukhothai is about 5 hours from BKK but still 5 hours is a bit far considering the fact that this weekend is not an extended one

You can fly to P'lok in less than an hour and Sukothai is a short hop from there.

Or you can fly direct to Sukhothai, even more convenient.

It's a great town and one of Thailand's top Loy Krathong destinations. Ayutthaya would also be good, and a bit cheaper / easier to get to.

I think Ayutthaya is a better option!!

Thanks

when will loy krathong be this year?

when will loy krathong be this year?

Actual day is Nov 10th this year.

Best LK celebration should be in Sukhothai and Chiang Mai but I have not attended Ayuttaya's.

Both Sukhothai & Chiang Mai will have celebrations for around 3 days and they always have their finale days differently so some people can attend both.

This year's final day will be Nov 10th for Sukhothai & Chiang Mai on Nov 11th. We will be attending both.

Hope someone can descibe Ayutthaya's LK celebrations and dates for this year and which airlines fly BKK - Sukhothai ?
