SongkranThe most important Thai holiday, Songkran celebrates the Thai New Year, from 13th to 15th of April. This is the hottest time of the year, so the antics of Songkran provide welcome relief, even if you are permanently wet! Traditionally Thais wish passers-by well by tipping a cup of flower petal scented water down their necks. Nowadays it is much more common to encounter children and adults positioned by the side of the road armed with water pistols and buckets even in the remotest of places. |
