Songkran Festival

The Songkran Festival in Thailand is one of the country’s most vibrant and joyful celebrations, marking the Thai New Year. Celebrated annually from April 13 to 15, it transforms streets across Thailand into lively water-filled playgrounds. Locals and tourists alike splash water on each other using buckets, water guns, and hoses to symbolize cleansing, renewal, and the washing away of bad luck.

Beyond the fun, Songkran carries deep cultural and spiritual meaning families visit temples, pour water over Buddha statues, and seek blessings from elders.

The festival’s spirit of unity and joy makes it one of the most anticipated events included in Thailand tour packages and Thailand honeymoon packages. Whether you join the energetic water fights of Bangkok and Chiang Mai, or witness traditional ceremonies in small villages, Songkran offers an unforgettable mix of celebration, spirituality, and pure Thai hospitality.

The Songkran Festival is a public celebration, and there is no entry fee. However, certain organized events, street parties, or water zones in tourist hubs like Bangkok, Pattaya, and Phuket may charge a small fee for entry or use of equipment. Most activities remain free and open to all visitors.
