SONGKRAN
|
|
Wet, Wild & Wonderful
|
|
This wonderfully
colourful, happy and ‘wet’ holiday is recognised traditionally on the
13th – 15th of April in Thailand. As Songkran falls in the hottest time
of the year, at the end of the dry season, this wet, wonderful and joyous
time is welcomed by all.
While it may appear as all fun and games to the uneducated, it is indeed
a time of deep rooted culture offering all the opportunity to enjoy the
spirit of youth, make merit to the gods and pay respect to one’s elders.
Bangkok Songkran
Festival
The water fights will be held in various spots around Banglamphu, most
notably Khao San Road and Rattanakosin Royal Square. There will be plenty
of action so remember to bring along your bucket or water pistol! You
should also leave any valuable electronics at home or in your hotel as
there is a very high chance that they could get damaged from all the
water being thrown around. Simply place some money into a waterproof bag
and then head on out to enjoy the fun.
Chiang Mai
Songkran Festival
Visitors can take part in the opening ceremony for the Songkran Festival
with a wonderful parade around Chiang Mai city. They can also go local
and pour some jasmine-scented water on a Buddha image and elders, enjoy
Lanna-style cultural performances and traditions, and try out various northern
foods along the streets.
Phuket Songkran
Festival
Apart from the refreshing soak from barrels, water guns and buckets,
folks in Phuket visit their family members and offer a prayer.

Ayutthaya Songkran

unique Songkran celebration with elephants joining the fun! In front of

Koh Samui Songkran
Festival
On Samui the main spot to play Songkran is Chaweng beach and the
surrounding area where the streets are lined with people throwing water
on cars and motorbikes as they pass by.
