Songkran Festival Hotel, Novotel Bangkok Silom Road

Songkran is sometimes known informally as Thailand’s Water Festival. It marks the Thai New Year and is by far the country’s biggest holiday. The annual three-day celebration occurs at the height of summer from 13 to 15 April. However, celebrations and events can extend for a time before and after the official period.

Enjoy a fun water battle in Silom

Water is central to Songkran celebrations. All the splashing represents a washing away of sins and bad luck. Indeed, the holiday is popular outside Thailand primarily for such revelry. But Songkran entails more than familiar scenes of street-side soakings and water-gun fights. It’s also a time for family reunions and temple visits. Important in this regard is Rod Nam Dum Hua. It is a sedate tradition in which young people sprinkle fragrant water into their elders’ palms and request blessings for the year ahead.

As to the more wet and wild Songkran traditions, Silom Road is definitely where Thais celebrate the holiday with brio. In fact, a stretch of the road is closed each day during afternoon and evening hours to become a designated water-splashing zone. Further making Silom one of the best spots for Songkran is easy to access to public transport. Whether BTS SkyTrain or MRT underground, all are within a short walk. So, prepare your water guns and look for a perfect Songkran festival hotel.
