Songkran happens every year in Thailand on 13-15 April and is the best time to visit the country. Thailand already has countless tourist attractions that draw visitors daily but you wouldn’t want to miss out on the Songkran celebrations. Songkran is a festival for Thailand’s new year. Every year during these few days in April, you can find a range of festivities that differ across the entire country.
Songkran has a lot of symbolism within the holiday. It’s a time for family, asking for new blessings in the new year, and cleansing yourself from the past. People return home to places such as Bangkok to take part in the city-wide festivities. The traditional way to celebrate Songkran for locals is spending time with family and cleaning in preparation for the new year. Songkran is also a time for fun. Water can be found everywhere in the city being splashed on everybody. This gesture symbolizes new blessings so what originally began as a tradition of sprinkling water is now a large-scale water festival.
