Thailand Winter Festival set to kick off
The 'Delightful Colours Of The River, Loi Krathong Celebrations 2023'.

The "Delightful Colours Of The River, Loi Krathong Celebrations 2023" will light up the waterways to mark the beginning of the Thailand Winter Festival, which also features the Amazing Thailand Marathon Bangkok, Vijit Chao Phraya, and Amazing Thailand Countdown and Amazing Thailand Passport Privileges.

From this Friday until Nov 28, Bangkok's Phadung Krung Kasem Canal, Chiang Mai, Roi Et, Samut Songkhram, Sukhothai and Tak will serve as key spots for residents and tourists to release krathong in honour of the Goddess of Water.

With its success, the Vijit Chao Phraya light extravaganza is back for its second edition. Firework displays, light shows, projection mapping and cultural performances will highlight Bangkok's historical sites and famous attractions on both banks of the Chao Phraya River.

To usher in the Year of the Dog, the Amazing Thailand Countdown 2024 will illuminate Wat Arun at night with vibrant New Year's Eve firework displays, light shows and cultural performances. The occasion will highlight Bangkok's ranking among the top 10 destinations in CNN's list of venues to celebrate the new year, and Thailand's position as a Global Countdown Destination.

Take a walk around the island of Shikoku

The "Stroll The Shikoku: Kochi & Ehime Discovery" walking holiday is now offered to explore the holy island of Shikoku in Japan, which is renowned for its pure rivers and verdant landscapes. Starting at ¥400,000 (95,086 baht), the prices are based on double occupancy.

This fully-guided seven-day journey allows you to experience the magnificent Chikurin-ji Temple as if you were a pilgrim exploring a rural valley and ancient mountain roads, one of which was formerly essential for carrying sea salt.

Other highlights are the stunningly situated mountain village of Yusuhara, which is home to a collection of structures created by renowned architect Kuma Kengo, and the castle town of Ozu, which is home to the fascinating Garyu Sanso, a masterful Japanese garden, residence and teahouse.
