The Songkran water festival will take place this year from April 13 to April 15. For those who don't know, the Songkran festival is celebrated in Bangkok as a national holiday; while in other parts of Thailand, especially in the northern city of Chiang Mai, Songkran is celebrated for as long as a week.
The Songkran Festival is one of the coolest celebrations in Thailand and one that goes back many hundreds of years. I've never been to the Songkran but one of these years when I'm back to Thailand I want to visit during the Songkran festival.
You will get wet wet wet! If you go to Thailand during the Songkrank festival, one thing is absolutely certain and that is that you will get yourself drenched in water whether you want to or not. If you dont want to get wet, you would literary have to lock yourself in your room for three days because One thing is absolutely certain: unless you plan to sequester yourself in your room for three days YOU WILL GET WET WET WET!
