This year (2012) we celebrate the Thai new year between April 12 to April 15. Yes, that’s four days – but most people celebrate even longer than that. Because Thai people like to enjoy life and celebrate too. And especially if you travel to Chiang Mai (in Northern Thailand) during Songkran – because there, they sometimes like to celebrate for even two weeks!
Actually, this playing with water is a very ancient tradition, but in the past couple of years it’s kind of morphed into something modern in many places in Thailand, particularly in Bangkok, Chiang Mai and other large cities.
