I understand that 15 July is Arsaraha Bucha Day (a buddhist public holiday) and that the following day (16 July) is Buddhist Lent Day.. I was wondering whether there are any activities in the city or nearby that are worth seeing that mark these days?

Someone told me something about a "candle parade". What is this and where can I see it?

I live in Bangkok.

I am going to be staying at home. The traffic in Pattaya last night was horrendous and suicidal Arabs riding motor bikes almost gave me a heart attack.
