Songkran festival takes place over three days every year, on the 13th - 15th of April.
Songkran is one of Thailand's National Holidays. During this time, I saw people from rural areas, who work in a city like Bangkok, return home to celebrate the festival. We express our respect to our elders by pouring scented water onto our parents' and grandparents' hands. This special day gives value to religion because we gain a lot of merit by offering alms to monks, meditating, listening to sermons. Carrying sand to temple and forming sand pagodas, as well as bathing rite for Buddha images and the monks. After all mentioned activities now we can joyfully splash water on each other.
