diambil dari website apa yah…duh lupa…

Thailand’s most celebrated festival is the Songkran Festival. It starts April 13 and lasts between 3 and 10 days, depending on where you are in Thailand. The word Songkran is from the Sanskrit meaning the beginning of a new Solar Year, but nowadays Thailand celebrates the New Year on 31 December.

The Thai people celebrate this festival with water. Everyone gets soaking wet and since it is the hottest season of the year, the custom is quite refreshing. Songkran is a Public Spring Cleaning Day, supported by the religious belief that anything old and useless must be thrown away or it will bring bad luck to the owner.

One might believe that the Songkran customs of throwing water is actually a rain-making idea, but it seems that the Thais don’t really bother about way they celebrate Songkran - they just do it for having a great time!

JOIN IN THE FUN AND BE PREPARED TO GET WET? VERY WET!
Chook dee pii mai! (Thai for Happy New Year).
