This November, the ancient city of Ayutthaya, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, becomes the stage for one of Thailand’s most meaningful traditions, called Loy Krathong, the festival of light, beauty, and gratitude.

Under the theme “Ayutthaya Glorious Era,” the event highlights the depth of Thai culture and artistry through:

 • The elegant Nang Noppamas Parade

 • A candle-lighting tribute to Her Majesty’s gracious benevolence

 • Cultural performances featuring Khon, royal Thai dance, puppet theatre, and shadow play

 • Concerts showcasing beloved Thai artists performing royal compositions

At the heart of the event is the reigning Miss World and Thailand’s Tourism Ambassador, Opal Suchata Chuangsri, who joins the ceremony alongside Jaja Primrata and Big Sarut, representing the nation’s spirit of grace and unity during this time of reflection and reverence for the late Queen Mother.

Visitors are invited to experience the enchanting atmosphere of Wat Phra Ram, with activities such as an AI Thai costume photo booth, floating lanterns, handmade crafts, and traditional delicacies, from November 2–6, 2025 (4–10 PM).
