A non-working public holiday in Thailand, the Royal Ploughing Ceremony is simply known as ‘Wan Phuet Mongkhon’ or ‘Farmer’s Day’. This year, it will be held on the 10th of May, and this date is typically determined by astrological observations that are later announced to the public by the Bureau of the Royal Household. The Royal Ploughing Ceremony is an ancient tradition that is observed in several countries including Thailand and this signifies the start of the new growing season. The ceremony is also intended to honour the farmers and shower good blessings on the plants.
This ceremony will be held at Sanam Luang in Bangkok, and tourists may look forward to savouring the traditional allures of this event while enjoying a stay at a condominium for rent in Bangkok offered by properties such as Somerset Ekamai Bangkok.
