In-Depth Information
September
September is the wettest month in and around Bangkok, and as a result most festivals
alternate between being held indoors or taking place directly on water.
Thailand International Swan Boat Races
In late September, more than 20 international teams race traditional Thai-style long boats in
various classes (the largest has 55 paddlers) along Mae Nam Chao Phraya in Ayuthaya.
Vegetarian Festival
During the first nine days of the ninth lunar month (September or October), this Chinese-
Buddhist festival, called
têt·sà·gahn gin jair,
sees street-side vendors serving meatless
meals to help cleanse the body. Most of the action is in Chinatown: look for the yellow
banners and white clothes.
