Songkran Holiday

The Songkran festival is not just about the enjoyment of splashing cold water, but also a period when the Thai people cleanse and pour water mixed with Thai fragrance on Buddha images. The festival also showcases a bathing ritual where the people pour water on the senior Buddhist monks. This process is believed to bring good luck to them.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, this year’s Songkran holiday has been postponed. Everyone is encouraged to stay at home and avoid the usual gatherings during the 3-day festival.
