Although Songkran (Thai New Year) in Thailand is an auspicious time of year for all people, it is also the country's largest and longest national holiday, and there's more than a little fun to be had, with countrywide water fights and a full-on party atmosphere. There are a few essential things you need before you can fully immerse yourself in the celebrations, but luckily we know some stores/malls near our hotels where you can get all you need for the ultimate Songkran experience, including water guns, waterproof cases and even powder and non-toxic paints.
Centre Point Chidlom – Central World, various local shops and street vendors for water guns, goggles, and waterproof cases for valuables.
Centre Point Pratunam – Pratunam Market for everything under the sun and all the Songkran equipment you could ever need.
Centre Point Silom – Sampeng Market, department stores and local street stalls in Patpong.
Centre Point Prime Pattaya – Shopping malls, including Terminal 21, street stalls, and local shops.
Centre Point Korat – Terminal 21, The Mall Korat and local shops.
Centre Point Sukhumvit 10 – Terminal 21, street stalls and mobile street vendors.
Centre Point Thong Lo – EmQuartier, Emporium shopping mall, street vendors.
We have mentioned just a few places where you can buy all the fun stuff you need for the Songkran celebration, but the truth is that during this time, almost every place will stock and sell exactly what you need. Finally, we'd like to wish you all Sawad Dee Ppee Mai! Which means Happy New Year in the Thai Language.
