Observed annually from April 13th to 15th, it's renowned for its exuberant water fights symbolizing the washing away of past misfortunes and the welcoming of a fresh start. Streets across Thailand transform into joyful battlegrounds as locals and visitors alike arm themselves with water guns, buckets, and hoses, drenching each other in good-natured fun.
Amidst the water festivities, families gather to pay respects to elders, visit temples, and participate in merit-making activities. Colorful parades, cultural performances, and delicious feasts further enrich the festive atmosphere, making Songkran a cherished time of renewal, community, and joy.
