Where to celebrate Songkran

The Songkran festival is celebrated in every city, town, and village across Thailand and is the nation's favorite holiday. Aside from the obligatory water splashing it is also the time when families come together and enjoy the festival. The traditional element of Songkran includes pouring water on statues of Buddha and also sprinkling water onto the feet of elders. If you’d like to experience the traditional side of Songkran or make merit at a local temple, please ask our Centre Point Pratunam staff who will be happy to help. If you’d like to get out and about in Bangkok and celebrate with the locals, Central World shopping mall is a good choice. With food, water splashing and several Songkran events happening, this is the perfect place to celebrate Songkran for people of all ages.

Other notable areas where the Songkran festival will be in full flow include Silom Road, Khao San Road, Siam, RCA, and various areas of Sukhumvit Road, all of which are easily accessible from our hotel near Pratunam via taxi, MRT, or BTS. Whether you're in Bangkok celebrating Songkran as a single, couple, or family, Centre Point Pratunam is one of the best places to base yourself. Staying somewhere central with most Songkran events within easy reach is a good idea. With street celebrations on every corner, you don’t really want to spend your day traveling from A to B when you could be partying with the people of Bangkok.
