Songkran is a traditional Thai New Year festival that takes place annually from April 13th to 15th. This festival is also known as the water festival, which is marked by water-related activities such as splashing water on each other as a symbol of purification, renewal, and good luck.
The Songkran festival is a time for paying respect to elders, visiting temples, and making merit, according to Thai culture. Pouring water on Buddha statues, monks, and elders is believed to be a way of seeking their blessings and cleansing oneself of bad luck and sins.
