A must-see guide for the Songkran Festival in Thailand.

When you read this article, you must know that April13-April 15 is the annual Songkran Festival in Thailand, which is what we call Songkran Festival. Songkran Festival means knowing all the bad things, all the evils and sins, and then starting the new year with purity and beauty. Today's Songkran Festival is coming. Children who are interested in participating should make plans in advance. Think of all the wet bikini girls and six-pack ABS all over the street. Are they drooling on the table?

At the same time, before you go out, popularize some background of the water-splashing festival in Thailand, so that you can brag to others.

Songkran Festival, also known as Songkran Festival, falls on April 13- 15 every year, which is the Thai New Year. In these days, almost all companies in Thailand will have holidays, and local people will go home to reunite with their families, go to temples to offer sacrifices to monks and pray for good deeds. Thais will sprinkle perfume on the Buddha statues and splash water on each other, indicating that they can wash away the difficulties of the past year and start a new year.

Therefore, in this festival, in addition to the beautiful guys and wet bikinis in the streets, there will be traditional Thai song and dance performances, traditional national costume parades and temples with flourishing incense to pray. At the same time, the streets near the event will be filled with various food stalls. It's also great to taste all Thai snacks at the same time.

Songkran Festival can be said to be a national celebration in Thailand. There will be celebrations in major cities, but the time in each place is different, so travelers who are ready to make plans should go first.
