About this event
The Bangkok River Festival is the Loy Krathong celebration organised by Thai Beverage with public partners at nine piers along the Chao Phraya, and the Tourism Authority of Thailand listed the 2025 edition on 3 to 5 November 2025, ending on Loy Krathong night. The dates shown here mirror the previous edition and are unconfirmed: they place the festival on the three days ending with Loy Krathong on 24 November 2026. Expect night openings at five royal temples, krathong floating, traditional performances and free shuttle boats between piers, as in 2025.
