Songkran is Thailand’s traditional New Year celebration, held annually in mid-April. It's renowned for transforming the streets into the world's largest water fight, where locals and tourists alike splash water on each other using buckets, water guns, and hoses. This joyful act symbolizes the washing away of bad luck and sins, welcoming a fresh start for the new year. Beyond the playful water battles, Songkran is also a time for family gatherings, temple visits, and paying respects to elders.
