Songkran is a traditional Thai New Year festival that is celebrated annually from April 13th to 15th. It is one of the most important festivals in Thailand and is known for its water fights, where people splash water on each other as a way to cleanse and purify for the new year. The festival also involves religious rituals, such as visiting temples to make offerings and pouring water over Buddha statues as a symbol of respect and blessing. Songkran is celebrated with great enthusiasm throughout Thailand, with lively street parties, parades, and cultural performances taking place in many cities and towns.
During Songkran, people engage in various activities such as participating in water fights using water guns, buckets, and hoses, as well as smearing each other with talcum powder or clay. The festival is a time for family reunions, where younger generations pay respect to their elders by pouring scented water over their hands as a gesture of blessing and gratitude. Many businesses and government offices close during Songkran, allowing people to enjoy the festivities and take part in the traditional rituals. It's a vibrant and joyous time in Thailand, filled with laughter, music, and the spirit of renewal.
