Bangkok--31 Mar--Spark Communications
Thailand’s Songkran festival is one of the highlights of the year, with people travelling from all over the world to take part in the famous water festival.
Traditionally a time when Thais return home to see their families and pay respect by pouring scented water onto their palms, the festival has become globally renowned as visitors come to celebrate the Thai New Year by splashing each other with water. While most of the country celebrates Songkran from April 13-15 some parts of the country, such as Pattaya, have slightly longer celebrations, meaning the festivities can last as long as a week.
