fforest Posted October 24, 2025 Posted October 24, 2025 This years Diwali festival on beach road is so MASSIVE and so HUGE its a jaw dropper....I was shocked how huge it is....So much so I was wondering if I was still in Thailand..... I have no problem with ethnic festivals....But honestly this one is way over the top for a non Thai festival... I cant even describe it well.....You just have to see the festival for yourself....
Aqualung Posted October 24, 2025 Posted October 24, 2025 I can smell it from Sweden. Nowt against Indian folks BTW!
KWA Posted October 24, 2025 Posted October 24, 2025 There's also a North Food Festival on at the moment so a lot of what you see may not be Diwali themed. https://x.com/The_PattayaNews/status/1981209178673992134 1
Horizondave Posted October 24, 2025 Posted October 24, 2025 Where my brother lives this festival is a major headache. My brother lives presently in Hounslow and it has a massive Indian demographic. I actually don't mind the fireworks, my daughter will love it. The issue to me is that they will still be sending fireworks into the sky at 2 in the morning. I am there from Sunday and the fireworks will probably last a week,
CampariO Posted October 24, 2025 Posted October 24, 2025 A must see? I'd rather get soaked for a week during Songkran.

Did you actually go to the "festival"? I did, and to be honest less than 10% of the stalls were serving Indian food. The rest was all Thai. KWA is right, it is Thai food festival that is MASSIVE and HUGE. 1

Well, you and KWA might be right....But the Diwali festival it seems, is right in the middle of the food festival, so it's pretty easy to mix the 2 festivals up.......I saw it all yesterday before it all opened...
