Thai locals and foreign tourists were splashed and sprayed with water in the streets of Bangkok on Friday for the annual Songkran festival, a celebration to ring in the Thai New Year.
From water guns to balloons to buckets, attendees use whatever is available at their disposal to soak friends, family members and random passersby. A symbol of purification and a new beginning, it also marks the beginning of Thailand’s rainy spring season.
“Normally, this month is very hot, but when we have the Songkran festival, it’s really refreshing and relaxed,” said Songkran participant Pittsanupat, who was also selling water and accessories to festivalgoers.
The five-day festival was included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in December 2023.

Songkran is Khmer culture, we are the original. Please give credit to the country of Cambodia. Thailand is deceiving you and the world and Thailand is teaching its own fake history because Siam was under the rule of the Khmer Empire for a long time.
