| Boilerpipe Text | 1. What is Songkran?
Songkran is Thailandâs most famous festival. Due to an important event on the Buddhist calendar, this water festival marks the beginning of the traditional Thai New Year. The name Songkran comes from a Sanskrit word meaning âpassingâ or âapproachingâ.
2. When is Songkran Festival?
Songkran Festival takes place in April every year, from the 13th to the 15th.
3. How is Songkran celebrated in Thailand?
Water is an important element of Songkran, especially in more recent times when the throwing of water has become a huge part of the annual celebrations. If youâre visiting Thailand during this period, prepare to get splashed! Crowds of people roam around throwing buckets of water, using water pistols, and just generally soaking anyone in the vicinity. Appreciation of family is another important aspect of the festival, with many Thai people making their way to their hometowns to spend time with older relatives. Buddhists also visit temples throughout Songkran where water is poured on Buddha images and on the hands of Buddhist monks as a mark of respect.
4. What happens on the first day of the festival?
Known as Songkran Day, the first day of the festival is an exuberant celebration with processions of Buddha images taking place throughout the country. The Thai people also prepare themselves for the beginning of the New Year by cleaning their houses. More importantly, April 13th is when the water throwing really gets going.
5. What is Wan Nao?
Wan Nao is the celebration of the old Thai New Yearâs Eve and takes place on April 14th when the sun travels between Pisces and Aires. You can observe one of Songkranâs more formal rituals on Wan Nao as itâs on this day that many Buddhists go to their temples to build sand chedis (a sandcastle built to resemble a Buddhist temple). |
