How Do You Celebrate Thai New Year?
• Learn some more about the festival event. Songkran Day or Thailand New Year is one of the biggest events in Thailand each year. Seeing in the Thai New Year means a constant festive feel, with parades, music, shows, people out on the streets and more happening all of the time. There will also be the biggest water fight imaginable! • Be familiar with the water plays, which are at the heart of Thai New Year. The Thai New Year water plays consist of two principal parts: Water and white powder. The white powder is placed on your face by other people out celebrating. • Get a water gun to join in the fun! You will have no troubles purchasing a water gun on the streets of every Thai city and town. There will be guns in differing sizes, priced from around 100 – 800 baht. You can even buy the water if needed, as the shopkeepers have large water barrels on their premises. • Reserve well ahead or miss out. If you plan to get around via some form of transport, make sure you’ve already reserved it
