Songkran

Songkran is a special festival in Thailand celebrated on April 13th. It's like a big, fun water party. People splash water on each other to clean away bad luck and start fresh for the new year. It also gets very hot in Thailand, so it's a fun way to cool down. Families come together and visit temples to give thanks. Sometimes they gently pour water over the hands of older people to show respect. During Songkran, people are happy, and everyone plays together, making the streets full of laughter and smiles. It's a joyful and exciting time for everyone.

How to celebrate Songkran?

Grab a water gun or bucket and get ready for a fun water fight with your friends and family! Dress in colorful clothes you don't mind getting wet. Try delicious Thai food like noodles and sweet fruits. You can also visit a local temple with your family to see beautiful decorations and offer flowers. Join a parade if there's one nearby, and maybe dance to the music. Don't forget to respectfully pour a little water on older people's hands to wish them good luck. Most importantly, have a lot of fun and make happy memories with everyone around you!
