One of the biggest and most beautiful festivals in Thailand is the Candle Procession which marks the start of the Buddhist Lent. In Thai this is called Khao Phansa which is the day after the full moon in July. Traditionally during this period, Thai Buddhists take part in parades to their local temples where they offer basic essentials and candles to the monks. The biggest and most famous parade in Thailand is the International Wax Candle Festival and Wax Candle Procession at Thung Si Mueang Park in Ubon Ratchathani province.
