Thailand's most celebrated festival is the Songkran Festival also know as Thai New Year.
It starts April
13 and lasts between 3 and 10 days, the word Songkran is from the Sanskrit
meaning the beginning of a new Solar Year.
The Thai people celebrate this festival with water. Everyone gets soaking wet and since it is the hottest season of the year, the custom is quite refreshing. Songkran is a Public Spring Cleaning Day, supported by the religious belief that anything old and useless must be thrown away or it will bring bad luck to the owner.
