Not long now until Thailands biggest annual festival SONGKRAN Imagine yourself being in the battle field with water bombs and water guns. The difference is, the more you are shot, the more fun ;-) Besides the throwing of water, many people visit Buddhist monastery to pray and give food to the monks. They may also cleanse Buddha images from household shrines as well as Buddha images at monasteries by gently pouring water mixed with a Thai fragrance over them. It is believed that doing this will bring good luck and prosperity for the New Year. SONGKRAN is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Years Day from 13 to 15 April. If you plan to visit the popular SONGKRAN destinations such as Chiang Mai, you should book early.
