Happy Songkran 2020!!!

Songkran is the celebration of Thailand's traditional new year, a Buddhist holiday, and a nationwide water fight.

Celebrated on the 13th of April every year, towards the end of the dry, hot season in Thailand, it's a perfect opportunity to absolutely soak, drench, and saturate everyone you see with water by any means necessary!

Due to Covid-19, 2020 public water festivities are put on halt all over the country but there are other ways to celebrate the Thai tradition.

It is a time of cleaning, washing away the bad luck, misdeeds, and misfortunes from the previous year and starting anew.  The Thai’s pour scented water over the statues of Buddha and the shoulders of each other and on the hands of their elders in a symbolic gesture of this belief.

This tradition still continues is the homes and temples around Thailand.  It’s only afterward that people take to the streets and start soaking each other with water and celebrating for days on end.
