Many festivals are linked to Buddhist or Brahman rituals and follow a lunar calendar.
The Thai New Year or Songkran, is celebrated in mid-April by 'Bathing' Buddha images, paying respect to monks and elders by sprinkling water over their hands, and generally tossing a lot of the water in the air for fun. Expect to be soaked unless you want to sit out the fun in a hotel room.
Thailand celebrates the sowing and harvesting of rice. To kick off the official rice-planting season in early May, the King participates in an ancient Brahman ritual in a large field in central Bangkok.
The Rocket Festival is held in May in the country's north-east, using a volatile mixture of bamboo and gunpowder to convince the sky to send rain for the new rice season. The rice harvest from September through to May leads to joyous local celebrations throughout Thailand.
