Koh Samui Festivals
Rambutan Fair
The annual August fair celebrates the delicious fruit, first
planted in Surat Thani during 1926. Highlights include
floats adorned with rambutans and other fruits, exhibitions
of local products and ornamental plants, and demonstrations
by specially trained monkeys who harvest coconuts.
Chak Phra Festival
 Surat Thani celebrates the official end of the annual
3-month Buddhist Rains Retreat (Ok Phansa) in mid-October
with the Chak Phra Festival (literally 'the procession of
hauling the Buddha image’).
The tradition stems from the
belief that the Buddha ascended to Heaven during Phansa to
preach to his mother.
The festival marks the Buddha's return to Earth, and is an
occasion for religious merit-making and general
celebrations. Local people organise dazzling land and
waterborne processions of revered Buddha images (to
symbolise the Buddha's return to Earth) and boat races on
the Tapi River where long boats, manned by up to 50 oarsmen,
are ebulliently raced.
Religious devotion, spectacle and
merriment combine to make Surat Thani's Chak Phra Festival a
memorable annual event.
