Tickets and official information
How to get to Nasatta Light Festival from Bangkok
Nasatta Park is located in Ratchaburi Province, west of Bangkok.
There are several ways to reach the festival:
- By car: The most flexible option, allowing you to plan your visit at your own pace.
- By taxi: You can travel directly from Bangkok to the park. Arrange your return journey in advance, as taxis are difficult to find after 6 pm.
- By minivan: Take a minivan from Bangkok’s Old Southern Bus Terminal to Bang Phae, then continue by motorcycle taxi to the park.
- By train: Travel from Thonburi Railway Station to Photharam or Ratchaburi, followed by a taxi to the park. Staying overnight is recommended due to the limited train schedule.
If you plan to visit in the evening, make sure your return transport is arranged before setting off.
Before You Go: What You Need to Know
Getting There
The Nasatta Light Festival is located approximately 25 km from downtown Ratchaburi and around 80 km from Bangkok.
If you are coming from Bangkok, make sure to allow plenty of travel time, especially during peak traffic hours, as congestion can significantly increase the journey time.
How Much Time Should You Allow?
Photography enthusiasts may find themselves spending much longer than expected at the festival. Finding the perfect angle, waiting for a clear shot without other visitors, and exploring the various illuminated displays can easily extend the visit.
For those in a hurry, one hour may be enough. However, photography lovers and festival enthusiasts should expect to spend two hours or more on-site.
What to Combine It With
Whether on the way to or from the festival, a popular stop is the famous Damnoen Saduak Floating Market, although it is highly touristy. For a more authentic local experience, consider visiting Oh Poi Market.
For culture lovers, Wat Khanon and its Nang Yai Museum are well worth a visit. This unique venue preserves Thailand’s traditional shadow puppet theatre, one of the country’s most fascinating performing arts.
Nature lovers can also explore the charming Khao Ngu Stone Park North, a peaceful park known for its limestone cliffs and scenic surroundings.
Our Advice
The Nasatta Light Festival is well worth the trip when combined with other attractions around Ratchaburi, but we strongly recommend staying overnight in the area.
An ideal itinerary is to leave Bangkok in the morning, visit attractions such as Damnoen Saduak Floating Market and a few cultural sites during the day, and finish with the festival after sunset.
