Thailand once again celebrated its biggest festival, the Songkran Festival, in a weeklong of festivities that was a blend of religious and cultural activities as well as merrymaking. If you’re on vacation in the dazzling capital at a Sukhumvit hotel like the acclaimed The Westin Grande Sukhumvit Bangkok; the festival is one you should definitely attend as it is not only a wonderful chance to experience Thailand’s vibrant culture but also have tons of fun at the same time!
Songkran Festival is the traditional Thai New Year and this year it was held on the 13th and 14th of April. Songkran is the time when families get together and feast and it is also the time for the water pouring ritual which in modern times has reached a whole new level!
At Songkran, streets like Bangkok’s Khao San Road transformed into a major waterfight! Buckets, hoses, water guns, you name it! It was a total splash of fun! This not only is a lot of fun, but the Thai believe that it brings a lot of good luck as well.
