Royal Long Boat Races and Wax Castle Festival 2557

October 3 - 8

The festival seems to have a somewhat altered name:

Indochina Explorer Wax Castle Festival and Long-Boat Race

The festival coincides with the lunar calendar.
 October 8 is the full moon day and Wan Awk Phansa (End Buddhist Rains Retreat).
