Information about Lotus Throwing Festival

The Lotus Throwing Festival or Rub Bua Festival takes place in Bang Phli, Samut Prakan (20 km from Bangkok). Thousands of local people line the banks of Samrong Canal to throw lotus flowers onto a boat carrying a replica of the famous Buddha image Luang Poh To. The boat carrying the Buddha image passes the front of Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai around 7.30 a.m. - 8 a.m. But come early because it is very crowded.
You can watch the boat parade from Wat Bang Phli Yai Nai, Bang Phli Old Market, the District Office or Wat Bang Phli Yai Klang.
