Songkran at Korat

Korat is a great place to visit at any time of the year and includes Songkran. With a traditional atmosphere and a great selection of local attractions in the area, the Songkran festival in this part of Thailand is in complete contrast to the events held in the big cities and tourist hotspots. This is not to say you can't have fun during Songkran in Korat, it simply means that you can experience both sides of the festival, the spiritual side and the water-splashing party side as well. If you are planning to visit Korat during Songkran, you could start the day by making merit at a local temple or by offering local monks’ food, and in the afternoon go out and enjoy the water splashing fun on the city streets.

If water splashing and the party atmosphere are not really your thing, there are plenty of activities within easy reach of Korat including numerous vineyards and the world-famous Khao Yai National Park. Songkran is the time when Thai families return home for family events, so you can expect the roads to be quite busy as many people who work in Bangkok and tourist areas come from Korat and the surrounding provinces. If you would like to experience a Songkran festival that offers a great experience for people of all ages, look no further than Centre Point Korat.
