Songkran in Thailand’s most famous festival. An important event on the Buddhist 
calendar, this water festival marks the beginning of the traditional Thai New Year. Water is an 
important element of Songkran, especially in more recent times when the throwing of water has 
become a huge part of the annual celebrations. If you’re visiting Thailand during this period, don’t 
be surprised if you get splashed. Crowds of people roam around throwing buckets of water, using 
water pistols and just generally soaking anyone in the vicinity. Appreciation of family is another 
important aspect of the festival, with many Thai people making their way to their hometowns to 
spend time with older relatives. Buddhists also visit temples throughout Songkran where water is 
poured on Buddha images and on the hands of Buddhist monks as a mark of respect.
Without a doubt, Songkran is a hugely important festival to the Thai people but it’s also very 
popular with visitors and many tourists specifically arrange their holidays around this unique event. Anyone and 
everyone can and will get involved in the celebrations. If you’re out and about during Songkran, you’re almost 
guaranteed to end up soaked but you’ll have lots of fun in the process!

back to the earthly world, people thought that they would encounter ghosts if they left their homes. To avoid 
being recognized by these ghosts, people would were marks when they left their homes after dark so that the
