Holidays & Festivals
Thailand's calendar is filled with colourful festivals which recall modern Thailand's agricultural origins.
Songkran, the traditional Thai New Year in the middle of April, finds enthusiastic revelers all around the Kingdom celebrating the end of the hot season.
Chinese New Year is also widely celebrated. Loy Krathong, a serene thanksgiving occasion, is another example of Thai's picture-perfect festivities. Thais celebrate approximately 15 public holidays throughout the course of the calendar year.
