Krabi Festivals
Krabi Berk Fah Andaman
This
festival takes place in November and celebrates the opening of
the tourist season in Krabi. Watersport competitions, caltural
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.
