Check the schedule before your trip: the official listing has a discrepancy between the overall dates and the program description. The start time of the first listed activity is known, but the full hours have not yet been established. Below are the confirmed details and the points that still need to be checked.
When and where
Venue — Phanom Rung Historical Park in Buriram Province. A separate town, the full address, and a visitor meeting point are not given in the official materials.
The date field in the official event listing lists the period as November 13–14, 2026. The description separately names Friday, November 13.
The first listed activity starts at 13:00 Thailand local time. This time should not be taken as the start of a daily program or the operating hours of the whole event. The end time has not been established.
There is an important caveat: the program description also mentions Sunday, November 15, 2026, although the date field ends on November 14. The end of the event needs to be clarified; it is not advisable to plan a visit for November 15 without additional confirmation.
Ceremonial procession to the temple complex
The Phanom Rung Faith Holiday program includes a ceremonial procession to the temple complex. This activity is the one confirmed by the official description.
The venue and the direction of the procession are linked here: the event takes place in the historical park, and the announced procession heads to the temple complex. However, the detailed route, participants, and duration of the procession are not specified in the available official materials.
If you want to see the procession specifically, check its start time and place before leaving. The announced 13:00 refers to the first listed activity; a separate start time for the procession has not been confirmed.
Participation Terms
The official materials do not specify the registration process, the rules for spectator access, or whether attendees can join the procession. Before your trip, check where visitors are allowed to be during the ceremony and whether advance registration is required.
The driving route, parking, and any special transport services are also unconfirmed. To find the way, use Phanom Rung Historical Park as your reference point, and check the event entrance separately.
The organizer does not provide special dress requirements or a list of necessary items. If you plan to take part in the ceremony, ask in advance about the dress code and restrictions on filming.
