Three Marriott resorts in southern Thailand are promoting Songkran 2026 stays and in-resort celebrations, with programmes at Courtyard Phuket Patong Beach Resort, Phuket Marriott Resort & Spa, Merlin Beach, and Le Méridien Khao Lak Resort & Spa designed for guests who want Thai New Year activities, beach settings and seasonal dining.
The properties said Songkran, celebrated each April, brings Thai New Year traditions and water-themed festivities to destinations across Thailand, and is one of the country’s busiest travel periods. Guests are encouraged to book early, and Marriott Bonvoy members can access member rates and earn points during eligible stays, according to the announcements.
Courtyard Phuket Patong Beach Resort
Courtyard Phuket Patong Beach Resort is inviting travellers to celebrate Songkran in Patong, Phuket, with a beachfront stay close to one of the island’s main celebration areas. The resort said Patong Beach becomes one of Phuket’s most active hubs during the festival, offering guests proximity to outdoor festivities alongside the option to return to a modern beachfront retreat.
The resort highlighted its location near the centre of Patong, along with spacious accommodation, several swimming pools, varied dining options and areas intended for relaxation after a day of activities. Promotional materials for the resort also reference Songkran-themed water play, colourful outfits and cultural procession-style moments associated with the holiday atmosphere.

The resort also announced an energetic Songkran pool party in its lagoon pools, along with a dining highlight: a Beach Grill Buffet – 4 Regions Style, presenting dishes and flavours from Thailand’s North, Northeast, Central and South, including fresh grilled seafood and regional specialities served in a beachfront setting.
