One of the biggest traditional events of Ubon Ratchathani people.

#CulturalTourism #100TravelTips #VisitUbonRatchathani 🌿 You should come once with an important religious tradition "Candle Procession" which is a grand national event that has been reported in Thai and international media. At first, we were indifferent. When it was on the news and we watched it on TV, we wondered how beautiful it would be with just a big candle. 🍂 You have to fly to Ubon Ratchathani Province for this event. They said it was worth it... It is an annual event with a unique identity. There are skilled local candle carvers scattered in various temple communities throughout the province. Each year, they show their skills in designing and decorating the candles to be exquisite and not just candles. There are also displays in the candle procession that are more magnificent than anywhere else. 🌳 "UBON Candle Festival 2024" When we saw the real thing... we were stunned.
