At Thaikhun we’re super proud of our heritage and this weekend it's Thai New Year - Songkran!
These celebration are a time to refresh and celebrate new beginning as we reflect and say goodbye to the previous year. In Thai culture, it is viewed as a time for renewal and to cleanse any negativity away.
In Thailand, the streets are filled with spectators as it's filled with bright, colourful parades and live music is played as people join together in traditional dances. There’s a particular focus on water during Songkran and the tradition has evolved into iconic water fights that happen on the streets! Everyone is drenched as part of the celebration as everyone comes together and has fun!
However it’s not just water fights, there’s also a rich culture that comes with Songkran. Temples host ceremonies and people come to pray during the festivities. It’s a time where communities really come together as they embrace the spirit of Songkran.
Let the spirit of new beginnings and cultural unity inspire you as you welcome the new year with joy, prosperity and harmony!
