Songkran Water Festival

Songkran Festival in 2022 will be held between April 13 to 15, 2022. Due to the COVID-19 situation, the celebration of Thai new year was a lot more muted in 2021 compared with previous years. We hope the situation will improve and return to normal in the coming year.

Songkran Festival 2023 will last from 13 - 15 April 2023. Over the 3 days that mark the start of the Thai new year, locals will perform a series of activities from cleaning their homes, paying respect to elders by cleaning their feet with scented water, to performing religious rituals at the temples. Apart from these solemn activities, it is also a tradition for Thais and foreigners alike to roam the streets and spray water at one another as a symbol of celebration, purification and rejuvenation.
