More and more people love to travel freely in Thailand, but one of the most important festivals is "Songkran", but it must be experienced. The Songkran Festival in Thailand was originally called Songkran (Thai: สงกรานต์, Songkran). It is held on 4/13~4/ every year. 15 The past few days have been celebrating grandly in major cities in Thailand. With the splash of water, we have taken away the bad luck of previous years and welcomed the new year with joy.
In this important festival, Thailand believes that water is a symbol of purity and the source of life. Therefore, during the New Year, apart from getting up early in the morning to take a bath, the Buddha statue will be invited out of the temple and the process of bathing Buddha will continue for several days. Water splashing activities are used to celebrate the New Year, so there is also a saying that the water splashing festival is also called the "Buddhist Bathing Festival."In addition, the traditional customs of Songkran are not unique to Thailand. Neighboring Southeast Asian countries, such as Myanmar, Laos, and Cambodia, also celebrate this delightful festival at the same time.
The Songkran Festival is also divided into levels. The elders are treated first, usually by splashing a few drops of water on the leaves, which means it is gentle; the other is the crazy type of splashing water, and the people who are splashed can't yet. Hide!Will escape the blessing!Therefore, if you have participated in the Songkran Festival, if you have been splashed all over, don't be angry. This is a way of expression that brings blessings this year.
In the Thai love sketch movie "Next Stop Saying I Love You", the heroine Mei Li originally wanted to go abroad with her family during the Songkran Festival, but in order to enjoy the New Year holiday with her uncle, she did not hesitate to pretend to lose her passport and send her family away. An electric light bulb ran out, which made Meili feel very depressed. Everyone can see from the movie that the Bangkok area is not polite to celebrate the Songkran Festival. In addition to offensive weapons such as water guns and buckets, there will be many large buckets. Reserve your combat power, and your face is smeared with white flour!Therefore, I would suggest to arrange a small trip to Bangkok during the Spring Festival holiday to experience this rare and interesting festival. (It is recommended to go to Khao San Road, where you can take the Rush route, you can definitely have fun!)
Finally, attach the small places to pay attention to when playing the Songkran Festival:
‧ Join this celebration with the most relaxed mood: Don't get angry because of being splashed with water, because this is the traditional Thai New Year's way to bless others.
‧ Wear quick-drying light clothes.
‧ Remember to put your wallet, mobile phone, and camera in a waterproof bag and put it away. Here in Bangkok, it doesn't matter whether you have a camera in your hand or not! ^^b
‧ Be sure to bring firepower equipment, such as buckets or large water guns, and put in this super fun party.
※ The movie "Next Stop Say I Love You"
[Wow~ It's so cool! ] This sentence comes from the heart of the heroine Mei Li and us.
The actor's uncle (Ken) has flour on his face.
※ A water splashing battle is staged in the urban area!
Please look at the super large water spray gun on the right. I believe no one dares to take the camera out to take pictures.
All kinds of firepower equipment will be sold on the street. Bring it with you. That’s right!
