Understanding Songkran: A Blend of Tradition and Celebration
Songkran, derived from the Sanskrit word “saṅkrānti,” meaning “astrological passage,” marks the transition of the sun into Aries and signifies the Thai New Year. Traditionally observed from April 13 to 15, the festival has evolved into a nationwide celebration extending over several days, especially in tourist hotspots like Pattaya.
Rooted in ancient customs, Songkran is a time for:
Paying respects to elders – through the gentle pouring of water, symbolizing purification and the washing away of sins.
Visiting temples – to offer food to monks and participate in traditional rituals.
Community gatherings – strengthening bonds with family and neighbors.
Over time, these solemn traditions have been complemented by lively water fights, parades, and public celebrations, making Songkran a unique blend of reverence and revelry.
Don’t miss out on this spectacular event that encapsulates the spirit of Songkran. We look forward to celebrating with you!
