The Setting Adrift of the Chao Le Boats
Takes place on Lanta Islands during full moon of the sixth and eleventh months in the lunar calendar. This is relgious rite performed by Sea Gypsies who gather on the beach near Ban Saladan Village. They dance their famous Rong Geng round the boats to be set adrift.

Ceremonies feature singing and dancing; the reason for the fest is to bring prosperity and happiness to the participants, it is something hard to find elsewhere.
