Best way to celebrate Songkran in Thailand. I am going to give you a few tips for people who are first timers to experience Songrkran in Thailand. This is an amazing festival in Thailand but what do you do. Leigh from Feast Thailand is going to share with you her best tips.
It’s April in Thailand and this means just one thing - Songkran (สงกราน), the Thai New Year's festival. Though the celebration period usually includes the 14th and 15th of April, as preparations commence and excitement grows, New Year's Day itself in Thailand is officially celebrated on April 13th.
Before Thailand adopted the international New Year’s Day in 1940, Songkran was calculated based on the Solar Calendar, which varied from one year to the next.
