"Songkran" is a Thai traditional New Year which lasts for 3 days. It is also known as the water FestivalӔ as people believe that water will wash away bad luck.
The Songkran Tradition is recognized as a valuable custom for the Thai community, society & religions. The value for family is to provide the opportunity for family members to gather in order to express their respects to the elders by pouring scented water onto the hands of their parents & grand parents & to present them gifts including making merits to dedicate the result of their ancestors. The elders in return wish the youngsters good luck & prosperity!
What a great tradition and country!
Happy Pet Travels!
