Each year on the full moon day of the 12th lunar month (usually in November), the Loy Krathong festival is held all over the country, and is one of the most beautiful and unique sights in all of Thailand. In Sukhothai, the festival has been arranged in a unique manner, and is centered around Sukhothai Historical Park. During the festival people revive the atmosphere of the Loy Krathong festival in the ancient city, which dates back for more than 700 years. Visitors can join in the ceremony, take in the sights and sounds, or enjoy numerous forms of entertainment including a Krathong competition, a beauty contest in Thai traditional costumes, and a magnificent Thai carnival.
