20 19 introduction of Thailand water-splashing festival

There is a very important festival in Thailand this spring. Everyone must have thought of it. This is the famous Songkran Festival! So, how do you play the Songkran Festival in Thailand? Today, Bian Xiao will arrange a guide to the Songkran Festival in Thailand for you!

Introduction to Songkran Festival Songkran Festival, also known as Songkran Festival, is a traditional Thai New Year from April 13 to 15 every year. This is a family reunion, going to the temple to offer sacrifices to monks, fasting monks to do good deeds, and pouring perfume on Buddha statues.

Songkran Festival is not only a festival to throw water at each other, but also means that you can wash away the setbacks of the past year with water and start a new year.

Interestingly, the Songkran Festival will be named after the goddess because it falls in different weeks. For example, the Songkran Festival on Friday is called Kimina.

The water-sprinkling festival is held from April 13 to April 15 in Gregorian calendar and lasts for three days. Time varies from place to place.

As the New Year in Thailand, the activities on that day are very diverse, and many Thais working in other places will take this opportunity to return to China to reunite with their families.

This water splashing activity, which lasted for nearly a week, attracted countless tourists from all over the world. However, the celebration date of the Songkran Festival in each city is not exactly the same.

In the morning, people will start by bathing themselves, praying in temples and giving alms to monks. At this time, they can experience the local culture more deeply, and you may also see many good men and women bathing in Buddha.

Water splashing Thais believe that water is pure, and the action of water splashing can wash away bad luck and bring a new beginning to the new year. From sprinkling water on Buddha statues and monks, to splashing water on pedestrians passing by four drivers in the street, to all kinds of street water splashing wars and water gun battles, people are having a big carnival with good wishes.

The Songkran Festival in Thailand is addictive once, because in these days, tourists are completely immersed in the lively carnival, walking on the street without talking about work, and it is inevitable that everyone will "attack" each other and get wet. People who are splashed with water can "fight back", but they should smile right, because it is just a gesture of enthusiasm and blessing.

On the day of the Songkran Festival, many people will wear traditional costumes and take to the streets. Whether it is a musical instrument performance or a dance performance, the scene is as lively as a carnival.

I believe you've been drooling for a long time. On this day, because of the water-splashing festival, there will be a lot of rice selling along the street. Mobile street snacks don't have to be hard to find, and you will never be hungry if you have fun.

After the lively carnival of the Songkran Festival, let's feel the tranquility and sacredness of the traditional Songkran Festival.

In fact, during the Songkran Festival, in addition to the lively and carnival side that everyone saw, this festival actually has a quiet side. It is said that Songkran Festival is the New Year in Thailand. On the day before Songkran Festival (that is, New Year's Eve), Thai locals will prepare new clothes and make glutinous rice cakes or other food for monks or neighbors.

The traditional Songkran Festival is divided into three days: Old People's Day, Family Day and Songkran Festival. In addition to crazy water splashing activities, during the water splashing festival, Thais will release some fish or birds to accumulate good deeds. In addition, there are some simple and solemn bathing ceremonies and sprinkling water on the palms of elders or respected people to show their blessings.

Bangkok Bangkok Bangkok has always been the city with the largest concentration of tourists. Celebrations will be more abundant and tourists will have more choices.

By mountain road 1

When splashing water in Bangkok, you must not ignore Jiushan Road. Jiushan Road is the most famous water splashing scenic spot in Thailand. It is crowded with young people, and even Thai fire engines will join the fight. Even if you are a good baby, you can have a good time at Jiushan Road. The so-called dry in wet out, never boring!

However, the shortcomings are also obvious. Tourists are the main crowd crowded here, which is basically the rhythm of foreigners splashing foreigners. For those tourists who live in the city center, traveling is also a big problem.

Activity time: April 13 to April 15.

Location: by the mountain road

2. It's Longlu

But the long road is the craziest splash point in Bangkok. This street is 5 kilometers long and is full of people from beginning to end. Everyone takes part in the "battle" with something that can spray water, and there are no water guns, plastic bottles and washbasins that can splash water.

The shops around will sell water guns, waterproof bags, food, drinks and other items, so go directly! There's nothing to prepare.

But the most competitive point of Longlu Road is that its splashing place is next to the light rail, making it very convenient for tourists to come and go. But there are so many comrades walking around here. If it is a younger sister, there is basically no possibility of an affair. If you are a little brother.

Activity time: April 13 to April 15.

Venue: Longlu (take BTS to Xilong Station).

3. Siam Songkran Festival

Siam Road not only concentrates on various large department stores, but also has many cram schools in Bangkok. So whenever the Songkran Festival, a large number of Thai teenagers will gather here to splash water. During the festival, only large shopping malls such as SiamParagon, SiamCenter and CentralWorld are open. Shops and tutorial schools in Siam Square (known locally as no air conditioning/hot zone) will be closed for tourists to enjoy!

Activity time: April 13 to April1512.00 _18.00.

Venue: Siam Square (take BTS to Siam Station)

4. Nightclub Street

For people who like disco dancing, how can it be enough to splash water in Thailand? RCA concentrates on many popular nightclubs in Bangkok, such as Route66 and ONXY, which are the favorite places for China people to go. In addition to high-quality DJ and sound effects, a large-scale party will be held to celebrate the Songkran Festival. Isn't it beautiful to drink, dance and splash water?

But students under the age of 20 are not allowed to enter. If you go directly without making a reservation in advance, there will be absolutely no seats or tables.

Activity time: April 13 to April 15, 20.00_24.00.
