International Wax Sculpture
Event Details : Green season travel in the Northeast should include a trip to Ubon for its famous candle festival.

The green season months of July to September are great months to explore this less travelled region of Isan or Northeast Thailand. The dry Isan plateau quickly transforms into a lush carpet of snooker-green rice fields, lush forests and orchards as daily rainstorms sweep the region.

Typically, rain clouds roll from the southwest at the same time every day providing a spectacular tropical downpour that moves on in less than an hour, leaving the countryside fresh and a mite cooler for travellers to enjoy.

Probably the most popular area is lower Isan where travellers follow a heritage trail through Buriram, Surin, Si Sa Ket provinces all the way east to Ubon, just 100 km west of the border with southern Laos marked by a meandering Mekong River.

Ubon is the commercial hub of lower Isan, a thriving town with a substantial university population, a bustling commercial centre and even department stores of the size seen in Bangkok.

Standing on the banks of the Mun River, the town is steeped in religious heritage and that is no more evident than in July when the town folk gather for the annual candle procession.

Temple communities in the city spend months creating elaborate candles from traditional bees wax. Their works of art are paraded through the town’s centre on Asamha Bucha Day, 26 July and Khao Phansa that marks the start of the three-month Buddhist lent, 27 July.

Rightly so, communities are extremely proud of their candle designs and the painstaking work required before they can be displayed for all to see. They vie for recognition from their peers who judge which one of the temple candle sculptures will win the top award.

There are literally hundreds of sculptures many of the so large they require an eight-wheel motorised float to carry them through the streets. Musicians march, while classical dance troupes entertain the crowds that turn out in their thousands for the two-day parade.

But if the itinerary cannot be tweaked to ensure you are there for the actual parades, you can still admire the works of arts at the International Wax Sculpture 2010, 1 – 31 July 2010 at Thung Si Mueang District, Ubon Ratchathani. Now in its fifth year, the exhibition is part of the celebrations marking Asamha Bucha and Khao Phansa, but it extends for the entire month with candle wax sculptures presented by artists from around the world.

The list of international artists who sculpture in candle wax and exhibit in annually in Ubon is very impressive, especially the modern exhibits sculptured by artists, worldwide However, for many visitors His Majesty the King’s royal candle is the signature exhibit.

Artists participating in the exhibition stay in Ubon and attend the exhibition until 11 July to discuss with visitors the finer points of art and religious interpretation.

Ubon is 629 km from Bangkok and can be part of a fascinating self-drive holiday starting in Bangkok with stops in Nakhon Ratchshima and Buriram provinces to explore historical sites, the elephant village of Surin and the fruit orchards of Si Sa Ket province on the way to Ubon.
