Loy Krathong and a New Family Festival: Late-November Dates in Phuket
Loy Krathong falls on 24 November 2026, and Phuket's first Family Festival takes place on 21 November in Phuket Town.
Phuket Family Festival, 21 November
The first Phuket Family Festival is on Saturday 21 November 2026 at Tangerine Phuket in Phuket Town, from 10:00 to 16:00. It is billed as a dedicated family event with activities for the whole family.
Loy Krathong, 24 November
Loy Krathong, Thailand's festival of lights, falls on 24 November 2026 and is celebrated island-wide. People float small decorated baskets on water in the evening, and many beaches, lakes and hotels hold their own events. Plan to arrive early at popular spots, and use biodegradable baskets only.
Sea conditions
By the second half of November the northeast monsoon has settled and the Andaman Sea is usually calmer, but swimming conditions still depend on the beach and the day, so follow the flags and lifeguards.
