Kathina is an important celebration in the Buddhist calendar. This festival celebrates the Buddhist community joining together to present the monks in their monastery with new robes. Buddhist monks dedicate their lives to their religion and only have eight possessions, all of which are gifted to them.

What is Loy Krathong? Also known as the ‘Festival of Lights’, Loy Krathong is national celebration that takes place every year in Thailand. The festival falls on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar.
