Andaman Sea Festival
This Festival takes place in November and celebrates the opening
of the tourist season in Krabi. Water sport competitions,
cultural shows, and good-natured fun are the schedule.
The Setting Adrift of the Chao Le Boats
takes place on Ko Lanta during the full
moon night of the sixth and eleventh lunar months. This is
a religious rite performed by Sea Gypsies or "Chao Le"
who gather on the beach near Ban Saladan Village.
They dance their famous "rong ngeng" round the boats
to be set adrift. Ceremonies feature singing and dancing.
The reason for the fest is to bring prosperity and happiness
to the participants.
