Songkran is coming, and Bangkok is about to lose its mind in the best possible way. It’s Thai New Year, sure, but forget champagne toasts and awkward midnight kisses. Here, it’s all about water, and no one is staying dry.
You might start your morning participating in the tradition, such as gently pouring water over a Buddha statue or receiving a blessing from an elder. But by afternoon, you’ll find yourself drenched head to toe in a flurry of water guns, music, and laughter. It’s playful, a little lawless, and totally irresistible.
While you could stumble out of your condo or hotel and be in the thick of it in minutes, here are the best places to celebrate Songkran in Bangkok if you want more music, more style, and more laughter.
