The Land of Smiles is well known for its lively festivals, and the most exciting are as famous as the Water Festival held during Songkran. This tradition is not just a party, combining tradition and modern entertainment.

Songkran happens in the hottest month of the year, marking a period of cleansing. Originally, people celebrated by paying respect go directly to Campus elders, as a way to show cleansing negativity and welcoming luck. Over time, this tradition has transformed into a nation-spanning splashing festival, drawing in throngs of excited revelers.

All over Thailand, well-known areas such as Phuket, Chiang Mai, and Bangkok organize huge open-air celebrations, where participants drench each other with every water-splashing tool imaginable. Some areas include live music, foam parties, and Buddhist ceremonies, offering a combination of festivities and spiritual elements.

One of the most famous is northern Thailand’s Chiang Mai, which hosts an incredible festival atmosphere. The city’s moat transforms into a wet and wild party, where festival-goers douse everyone with live performances adding to the fun.

For anyone wanting an unforgettable experience, this incredible event is a must. Beyond just excitement, it brings people together to welcome a new year with positivity.
