The Thai word "songkran" is derived from the Sanskrit word sanskrit, which means "to pass", to enter a new astrological sign, a new year. Although the official Thai New Year has now been changed to January 1, people still respect ancient traditions and celebrate during this time. And the "splashing" activities of the Songkran Festival every year are also different from place to place.
Notes
From the day of Songkran, there are three consecutive days of celebrations, including water splashing, large-scale Buddhist events, and beauty pageants.
