It's Songkran time again in Pattaya! Get your water buckets ready and prepare to get wet. Songkran is without doubt the most popular of all Thai festivals. A time filled with joy and excitement.
While the festival has its roots in Buddhist heritage, the washing of Buddha images, merit making, traditional family values and the sprinkling of water in respect for elders, it is best known for the fun.
Everyone enjoys splashing great quantities of water on all who happen to pass by. Songkran is celebrated with gusto by young and old, throughout the country.
City communities and villages in rural Thailand forget their troubles and concentrate on the serious of business of having fun as well as cooling off, during the height of the summer’s scorching tropical temperatures.
So much fun !!
