Ubon Ratchathani Candle Festival 2027 (Asahna Bucha & Khao Phansa)
Thailand's most magnificent Buddhist wax sculpture festival celebrating the start of Buddhist Lent (Khao Phansa).
To commemorate Asahna Bucha and Khao Phansa, master craftsmen spend months carving colossal wax sculptures illustrating Buddhist mythology. The grand parade around Thung Si Mueang square is a peerless showcase of northeastern Thai art, music, and devotion.
