Where is the Songkran Festival in Thailand, and which city is the most fun?

As we all know, the Songkran Festival is an important festival for the Dai people in China, but do you know that there is also a Songkran Festival in Thailand? It is called Songkran Festival every April and lasts for three days, which is extremely grand!

Gan Song is a name in Sanskrit, which means that the sun moves to Aries, which is the beginning of a new solar year. It means clearing away all previous misfortunes and sins, and heralds the beginning of a beautiful and pure new year!

April is the hottest season in Thailand. Before the festival begins, every household should clean and burn unused old clothes to get rid of bad luck, and on the same day, they will go to the temple to worship flowers and plant colorful flags in order to have a good weather and a good harvest!

In the evening, the younger generation will sprinkle the perfume with petals on the elders to congratulate them, and at the same time, the elders will sprinkle someone on their heads to bless them!

In the past three days, the whole country has been shrouded in a happy and festive atmosphere. Thais usually splash water on each other to celebrate, so the Songkran Festival is also called Songkran Festival!

Just like taking a bath years ago, splashing water washed away the bad luck and unhappiness of the past year. If you are lucky enough to visit Thailand at this time and get wet, don't be angry, it's unlucky!

In fact, the Songkran Festival also exists in other countries, such as Cambodia and Myanmar, which are adjacent to them! So don't get angry when you get wet!

On this day, adults and children will put on new clothes and bring offerings to the temple to worship and pray for peace, health and happiness. Housewives are the busiest, not only cleaning the house, but also burning old things and clothes. It is unlucky to throw away these things according to custom!

The Songkran Festival in Thailand has also promoted the development of tourism in Thailand. On this day, people will also wash the Buddha statues. Pattaya holds celebrations at this time of year, such as floats, food exhibitions and fireworks displays. There will also be beauty contests and parades at Chiang Mai Station.
