Songkran Festival

Songkran Festival is Thailand’s traditional New Year celebration, typically held from April 13 to 15. It marks the beginning of the solar calendar year and is famous for its joyous water festival, where people splash water on each other as a symbol of cleansing and renewal. The event also features religious rituals, visits to temples, and family gatherings. It’s a time of renewal, gratitude, and community bonding, blending cultural traditions with lively festivities. Despite the playful water fights, the festival carries deep cultural and spiritual significance, celebrating new beginnings and respect for ancestors.
