What is the custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in Thailand?

The custom of celebrating the Spring Festival in Thailand is to visit relatives and friends and give four oranges.

Thailand is one of the main settlements of Chinese in Southeast Asia. Because of the large proportion of Chinese, it seems that the whole of Thailand is celebrating the Spring Festival when the Lunar New Year comes every year. In addition to various lively Spring Festival activities, Chinese in Thailand have also continued the tradition of the Chinese nation, suspending all work, visiting relatives and friends and exchanging New Year greetings. ?

The China New Year, which truly belongs to Thais, is the Gan Song Festival, which lasts for three days from April 13 every year. The word Gan Song comes from Sanskrit, which means "leap" or "advance". Thailand also has the goddess Gan Song. During the Songkran Festival, Thais can worship the goddess Gan Song everywhere.

The Songkran Festival in Thailand is just like the Spring Festival in China. Very grand, lively and festive. The difference is that in China, people celebrate the New Year with firecrackers, while in Thailand, people celebrate the New Year with splashing water. Moreover, the Songkran Festival in Thailand, different from the Songkran Festival in China, is gradually fading away, still full of customs and traditions, attracting an endless stream of foreign tourists.
