Showcasing a fusion of tradition and modernity, Thailand’s Ministry of Culture is hosting the “World Songkran Festival” from 1st to April 21st, 2024. Departing from the usual dates of April 13th to 15th, this extended celebration promises an immersive experience for both locals and tourists, offering a range of festivities that encapsulate the essence of the traditional Thai New Year. At the heart of the World Songkran Festival lies the iconic water fights, a hallmark of the event, which symbolise purification and renewal.
From traditional rituals to contemporary performances, the World Songkran Festival promises a sensory extravaganza, inviting participants to indulge in delectable Thai cuisine, vibrant street parades, and captivating cultural displays. While Bangkok is generally a hotspot for activities and fun revelry, so too are other popular Thai destinations including Phuket. Beach villas on this idyllic island including those at properties such as Anantara Layan Phuket Resort are an ideal choice for those looking to not only enjoy a holiday during Songkran but other rewarding experiences too.
