Introduction :
Songkran is a Thai traditional New Year which starts every year on 13th
April, this is the time for Thais to pay homage to Buddha images, clean
their houses, and sprinkle water on their elders in a show of respect.
Anyone who ventures out on the streets is likely to get a thorough
dousing of water, all in good fun, but also quite welcome at the peak of
the hot season. Songkran is a Thai word which means move or change
place as it is the day when the sun changes its position in the zodiac.
However it's a time of fun and merrymaking, so reach out this day with
to all your friends from Thailand and wish all of them a Happy New Year,
and make the day more memorable. |
