  • Songkran or as it is now known as the Thai New Year started in Lanna around 700 hundred years ago. Then the Lanna Kingdom comprised of North and Northeast Thailand, parts of Laos, Burma and southern Yunnan Province China. Songkran today is still celebrated in these areas except Burma where it has been banned by the military government there.
    Songkran was not celebrated in the rest of Thailand until around the 1950's. In Bangkok then most of the workers, as today, came from the north or northeast part of Thailand. When Songkran came around, April 13 - 15, most of the workers just left work and went to their villages for the New Year. For this reason the government and most businesses had to shut down for Songkran. For this reason this is now an official holiday in Thailand.
    The meaning of water during Songkran is very important. Pouring water on each other and Buddha statues is to wash away the past and a cleansing for the future year. This started as just pouring water on the hands or on the shoulder of others with a small cup of water. This has now grown into the largest water fight on the planet.
    Here is a short streaming video of the festival over a two day period. The first day, April 13, is the Songkran parade, which takes place on Muangchareon and Thapae roads at 2 PM and lasts around 3 hours. We then hit the streets to join the water fight mostly concentrated along the moat in the city center.

    About allthai

    I have been living in Thailand since 1989. I have traveled extensively
    throughout the Kingdom and want to share my wonderful experiences of
    Thailand with others.  I talked with many travelers
    here in Thailand and saw a need to take visitors away from the normal
    tourist areas filled with large tour buses and groups. The biggest
    complaint I heard from visitors is "there is no real Thai culture".
    "Everything is staged for the tourists". This is because they keep
    following each other around using their guide books. I lived in a
    remote area of north Thailand at Wat Thaton temple in the town of
    Thaton on the Burmese border for more than 3 years. I taught English to
    Monks, novices, high school students, the Thai Army, local and tourist
    police. I also did hill tribe programs by taking a small number of
    tourists to hill tribe villages to spend the evening. All the money for
    the trek went to the villagers. I bought clothes for the children,
    medicines and blankets for the families. I paid the villagers to build
    a bamboo schoolhouse and paid a teacher to teach Thai at the school who
    could speak their language. I taught them how to dispose of waste
    properly, keep the children and village clean and to use spoons instead
    of their fingers when eating which was a big source of their health
    problems. I provided seeds and Logan and lychee fruit trees for
    planting. This was fine until I left the temple then the school stopped
    and the health problems returned. I talked with the Abbot of the temple
    and he now has a school for the children at the temple. He has a nurse
    looking after the children and takes those to the clinics that have
    problems.

    My wife and I now help orphaned and abandoned hill tribe children through our
    tour operation All Thailand Experiences.

    I also write Thailand travel articles for the Welcome to Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai and other magazines.
