Samui, an island paradise in Thailand, offers more than just stunning beaches and crystal-clear waters. Immerse yourself in the rich cultural heritage of Samui by experiencing its traditional festivals and events, each a vibrant celebration of local customs and heritage.
Songkran Festival
Celebrated in April, Songkran marks the Thai New Year with water fights and religious ceremonies. Experience the joyous atmosphere as locals and tourists come together to splash water and pay respects to elders. If you’re looking for things to do in Chaweng during Songkran, this is the ultimate event! Be prepared to get soaked! Water guns and buckets are everywhere, and the streets transform into a giant, playful water battleground. It’s a fantastic time to embrace the local tradition and cool off in the Thai heat. For a fine stay during this vibrant celebration, consider Avani Chaweng Samui, conveniently located near the action yet offering a tranquil haven to relax after a day of revelry.
Loi Krathong
Also known as the Festival of Lights, Loi Krathong takes place in November when people release beautifully decorated krathongs (floating lanterns) onto rivers and lakes to pay homage to the water goddess and seek forgiveness.
