Songkran,
Thailand

Water Fights and
Good Fortune

Chiang Mai, Bangkok Thailand

April 13-15, 2025
Songkran is Thailand’s joyous New Year celebration, marked by massive water fights that take over the streets. Originally a way to wash away the previous year’s bad luck, it has evolved into a fun and refreshing festival of community. Chiang Mai and Bangkok are two of the best places to experience this wet and wild event, where locals and tourists alike douse each other with water.
