June
The wet season begins in much of the Mekong region. Expect brief daily downpours,
but much of the time it should be dry. River levels begin to rise again.
Hue Festival (Biennial)
Vietnam's biggest cultural event ( www.huefestival.com ) is held every two years (next is
2016 and 2018). Most of the art, theatre, music, circus and dance performances, including
many international acts, are held inside Hue's Citadel.
Phi Ta Khon
The Buddhist holy day of Bun Phra Wet is given a Carnival makeover in Dan Sai village in
northeastern Thailand. Revellers disguise themselves in garish 'spirit' costumes and parade
through the village streets wielding wooden phalluses and downing rice whisky. Dates
vary. ( Click here )
