Songkran Water Festival

Cultural Parades · Nationwide (notably Bangkok, Chiang Mai)

Thai New Year turns entire cities into a joyful, soaking-wet free-for-all - water guns, hose pipes, buckets flung from truck beds, all layered on top of genuinely tender family rituals like pouring scented water over the hands of elders for blessing. Bangkok's Maha Songkran festival at Benchakitti Park has become a proper citywide celebration of it, though honestly half the fun is just walking down any street and getting ambushed.
