| Splash and celebrate! Throwing water is an important part of New Year’s celebrations in Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand |
With celebrations occurring throughout the year, festivals are an integral part of the Southeast Asian culture and partaking in our festival packages let you experience the region’s vibrant traditions firsthand. Douse water on local revelers during the traditional New Years, witness the intriguing animistic nat (spirit) rituals of Myanmar, or be awed by the magnificent spectacle of hundreds of floating lanterns in Chiang Mai’s night sky each November.
Taking place in mid-April, our Celebrate Khmer New Year and Myanmar New Year tours showcase our best sightseeing excursions while offering you unmatched opportunities to mingle with locals and experience the festive atmosphere. Any of our Cambodia or Myanmar programs can also be timed to coincide with local festivals, such as the Myanmar Seat In Coach Tour. We recommend the 10 and 17 April departures to capture the best of the Burmese New Year celebrations.
The ways to discover Southeast Asia are fascinating and diverse, so join our festival tours for the experience of a lifetime! |
