Sukhothai Loy Krathong Festival 2026

Sukhothai Historical Park stages ten nights of candlelight, performance and the ticketed Light and Sound show around the ruins. This is the most concrete 2026 Loy Krathong programme currently announced and a strong reason to route through Sukhothai in November.
