Songkran, or Thai Water Festival, is widely regarded as the beginning of the traditional Thai New Year. This festive celebration takes place every year in April from the 13th to the 15th. During these three special days off, Thai people will make their way to their hometowns to pour water on the hands of their elders and receive blessings in return as they believe that this will bring luck and happiness to their lives.
