Songkran Water Festival is a celebration of the Thai New Year.
Songkran Water Festival is a celebration of the Thai New Year. This festival typically spans over three days but sometimes goes longer in rural areas. This celebration is noted as the country’s most important public holiday. The event also denotes the end of the region’s dry season, explaining the giant national water-fight that has become the holiday’s main event. Citizens use water guns, hoses, and buckets to drench their peers and engage in an all-out water war. While probably one of the coolest things to be a part of while vacationing in Thailand, travelers should be aware that tourists are especially targeted with ice-cold water and should head into battle with their game faces on.
