The vibrant and cosmopolitan city of Bangkok is sensational year around with a palette of festivals happening very frequently.

Moon festival and Vegetarian festival, celebrated in September or October, are delightful with yummy gourmet foods lined up on colourful shelf displays. Definitely, try out the moon cakes during the moon festival and the variety of vegan dishes from sweet cakes to noodle soups sold in temporary rows of stalls in Chinatown, the gathering point for the festivities of the Vegetarian festival!
Furthermore, Loy Krathong, one of the most picturesque traditional festivals in the country takes place in November.
