Happy SONGKRAN 💦 ….. THAI NEW YEAR
Songkran, or Thai New Year, is Thailand’s biggest and most important annual festival.
It is traditionally celebrated for three days starting from the first full moon in April. This is because the country runs on the lunisolar Theravada Buddhist calendar.
The name Songkran comes from an ancient Sanskrit word meaning to ‘enter’ or ‘pass into’ and refers to the movement of the zodiac.
These days, the festival has a set start date of 13 April.
