Loi Ruea Chao Le Festival
is a rare festival on Ko Lanta of sea gypsies. The festival
is held annually, on the full moon day in the sixth
and the eleventh months of the lunar calendar. The sea
gypsies on Ko Lanta and from neighbouring areas will
gather at the beach near Ban Sala Dan to float boats
in the sea in order to bring good luck. The Rong Ngeng,
a typical southern dance as well as traditional music,
will be performed around the boats. |
