You may have been involved in water-fights, but this is closer to a water war. Buckets, bowls, cups, water pistols, fire hoses and even elephant trunks are used to douse the streets in a celebration that encapsulates Thailand's warm relaxed attitude to festivities.
Running from the 13th-15th of April, Songkran captures the imagination of every man, woman and child and brings together thousands of strangers to become brothers in H20 arms. It's hard to imagine just how much joy can be spread through drenching strangers, but when 69 million people agree to take up the challenge it takes on a spirit of it's own.
If you're not one for following the beaten path then we understand. No itinerary can show you the best route to adventure. If you'd like to create your own custom holiday, be it having a watertight with an Elephant or going scuba diving in the ceynotes of Mexico, our travel experts will help create one free of charge!
Make My TripSongkran is a traditional Thai festival that represents washing away of ones sins and bad luck. It's a festival of unity that brings the country together.
You can get a visa on arrival for 30 days and then extend if you wish to stay longer.
Songkran lasts for 3 full days but the water fight hits it's peak on day 2.
