Rambutan
Fair
This event will be held at Surat Thani since it is known for its luscious
rambutans that grow throughout the province. This fair will includes exhibitions
of local products and floats adorned with rambutans, as well as many other
exhilarating fun-filled activities.
Longan
Fair
Longan (as Thai called it lamyai) season is at its peak in August. A fair
is held in Lamphun, about half an hour's drive south of Chiang Mai, during
this season, featuring a fruit contest and a stunning Miss Longan beauty
contest.
Her Majesty Queen's
Birthday Celebrations
A nationwide holiday that sees public buildings being decorated to honor
Her Majesty Queen Sirikit's birthday. The most splendid buildings are
in Bangkok, particularly along Ratchadamnoen Avenue and in the area around
the Grand Palace, where both government offices and streets are garlanded
with colored lights. The queen's birthday also coincides with Mother's
Day celebrations in Thailand.
