อลังการแห่ปราสาทผึ้ง สกลนคร 2026 Wax Castle Procession, Sakon Nakhon Thailand 🇹🇭

The Sakon Nakhon Wax Castle Festival (ประเพณีแห่ปราสาทผึ้ง) is one of Northeast Thailand's most magnificent cultural celebrations, held annually to mark the end of the Buddhist Rains Retreat (Ok Phansa). Local communities spend up to three months meticulously hand-carving incredible, miniature Buddhist shrines and celestial palaces entirely out of pure beeswax. These stunning structures symbolize the heavenly palace of Trayastrimsa and are paraded through the city as sacred merit-making offerings
