Thai New Year, also known as Songkran, is celebrated annually from April 13 to 15. This festival marks the beginning of the traditional solar calendar and is a time for families to come together, pay respects to their ancestors, and visit temples. One of the most famous aspects of Songkran is the water festival, where people splash water on each other as a symbol of cleansing and renewal. This joyful celebration includes parades, traditional music, and dance, making it a vibrant cultural event in Thailand.
