Experience Thailand’s vibrant Songkran New Year festival
 
   
   

Thailand’s famous New Year Songkran Festival is a vibrant three day celebration from 13th to 16th April each year, and coincides with the New Year of many calendars in South and Southeast Asia. “Songkran” is an ancient Sanskrit word meaning to “move into” and refers to the orbit of the sun moving into Aries. It marks the end of the 12 month cycle and the beginning of a new solar year. While in modern times the festival has been fixed, historically Songkran was a movable feast, being celebrated when the sun moved into the Aries portion of the zodiac.


For Thai people Songkran is a time to clean the home and start afresh, visit and pay respect to
elders, make sacred offerings at temples, give alms of food and new robes to monks, and
participate in Buddha statue bathing rituals by gently pouring fragrant water to bring good luck
and prosperity. Songkran is also referred to as Thailand’s “Water Festival” and is famed for its
street water parties, which offer refreshing water throwing fun at the hottest time of year.


Songkran is one of Thailand’s most popular events, so to beat the rush simply plan ahead and
visit anantaravacationclub.com to make your booking.
