Songkran Festival

The Songkran Festival is one
of the most important feasts

that has been performed not
only in Thailand but also in
other countries (Laos,
Cambodia, etc.) for a long

time. It is also known as
Thai Traditional New Year
Day which falls on April

13 – 15 in a year. It is the
great opportunity for merit-making and
a special time for Thai people to have fun, traditional music,
dances, games, and other activities in the pastime.

Songkran or Water Festival

or Thai New Year captures
the imagination of travellers
for both its cultural and fun

attributes; the latter being
enthusiastic bouts of water
splashing between friends and

relatives.
