Songkran Festival, Songkran Day, Thai Water Festival or Songkran, Thailand’s signature festival has many names. It is a special time when Thai summer turns cool and fighting becomes a friendly act. While many travelers know that Songkran Day is also the traditional Thai New Year, water fight has become synonymous with the festival. Many travelers have enjoyed the Thai Water Festival aspect, but few have experienced the traditional beauty of Thai New Year. Crazy or calm, your Songkran Day can go either way depending on where you go.
