Songkran Festival (the water festival) is held in mid of April to celebrate the traditional Thai New Year. Most visitors come to see this festival since there are a variety of religious and fun activities taking place each year. Besides, many great parades and a Miss Songkran beauty competition are included in this festival. As this is the hottest time of the year, most people pour, squirt or throwing water on each other.
In the old days, Songkran was a time to forgive all of the animosity and resentments of the past year and the water symbolized the washing away of those difference. Most people had water sprinkled on each other, it was refreshing.
Nowadays, it is a playful, water fight in which the whole population take part. Be prepared to get wet just about anywhere you go.
