With Thailand’s Royal Ploughing Ceremony on Wednesday, it’s a time to think about slowing down, looking around and revisiting the nation’s rural roots.
The annual ceremony marks the beginning of the rice growing season in Thailand, and Pickaboo offers the perfect way to reconnect with the land with a special bicycling trip that takes you through one of the most famous floating markets in the country.
Early next month, on the 6th of November, Thailand will be celebrating one of the highlights of the Thai Buddhist calendar – the enchanting festival of Loi Krathong, and whereas one can celebrate Loi Krathong pretty much anywhere in the kingdom, the best place to experience it to its fullest extent is Chiang Mai, the ancient capital of the Lanna kingdom, where Loi Krathong coincides with the local tradition of Yi Peng.
