Filled full of festivals, fun and frolics, April is likely considered one of the most celebrated months of the 12 months in Thailand with the traditional Thai New Year of Songkran one of the culturally essential celebrations in the kingdom.
The Songkran festival is understood worldwide and is broadly known to honour household values, pay respect to seniors, and participate in traditional ceremonies all through the nation’s temples. This festival is observed as a three-day nationwide holiday from April thirteen to April 15 in Thailand. However, some areas also celebrate this competition somewhat later with unique local festivities.
In Case study , the International Festivals and Events Association ASIA named the Songkran festival one of many three main festivals in Asia.
