▣기간: 2010년 7월 1일 ~ 7월 31일
▣장소: 우본 라차타니, 퉁 씨 무앙(Thung Si Mueang District)
촛불축제는 꽤 오랜 전통을 가진 행사로 큰 초를 만들어 기름과 함께 승려들에게 바치는 종교적 행사이다. 하지만 이밖에도 다양한 행사가 펼쳐지는데 그 중에서도 가장 아름답게 조각한 초를 가리는 경연대회나 민속 의상을 입고 길을 따라 행진하며 공연하는 춤등이 볼거리이다.
아싸하 부차(Asalha Puja)에게 보시를 하고 카오 판사 불교의식이 열린다. 촛불 축제와 전세계인이 참여하는 국제 촛불 조각 경연대회의 환영식을 보고 관광객을 위해 특별히 준비된 토속음식 “파 카오 랭_Pha Khao Laeng”을 맛볼 수 있다.
