Interesting culture
One of the most famous and well-known festival in my interesting culture is "Songkran" or "Water-splashing festival". Every year it takes place on April 13th-15th and it is a national celebration. Thai people believe that this event is important because this water festival marks the beginning of the traditional Thai New Year, So Thai people will go back to their hometown and stay with their family. They will go to the temple to do activities. It is the old tradition which inherits from long generations.
I think that is a good opportunity for merit-making and a special time to have fun, I usually do is going to the temple in the morning, give food to the monk and pray, after that I going back home to visit my grandmother and grandfather with family is one of the most important thing that people like to do and I usually play water in late afternoon with my friends, it like water fighting, that a highlight of Songkran's Day.
Finally, Songkran's Day is very important date and good culture for Thai people because it make relationship to pay respect the elder people and this festival to help stimulates economic for other tourists who like to come to Thailand just for celebrate this New Year with us. It have a good time in throwing water to the other such as our neighbors and some people in the community.
