The water-sprinkling festival is scheduled for April 13- 15. For Thais, Songkran Festival = New Year's Day. Every big town in Thailand has different celebrations, and the locals will be red for five days in a row.

In addition to Songkran Festival in major towns, Thailand Tourism Bureau and Bangkok Transportation Bureau will provide free bus transfers to facilitate people and tourists to attend the traditional bathing Buddha ceremony.

There will be a free shuttle bus to take people and tourists to and from the top ten famous Buddhist temples in Bangkok, which will facilitate people to worship Buddha and pray for a smooth New Year. The service hours are from 8 am to 4 pm every day, starting from the Victory Monument. Pay attention to dress and etiquette when visiting temples.

As in the past, Xilong Road is an inevitable battlefield. If you want to go to war, you can go directly to Xilong Road! I believe there will be celebrations outside other shopping malls. There are also more polite ones. For example, the Metropolitan Authority of Bangkok will hold an annual celebration in Lumpini Park this year, which used to be in the City Hall or the Royal Courtyard. This year, it was changed to Longpini Park, which is closer to Xilong Road, to attract tourists. The date is 13- 15.

What's more, there will be a Miss Songkran pageant this year. The contest will be divided into four groups: children (5-9 years old), girls (18-25 years old), elderly people (60 years old) and giants (80kg), which is quite a stunt.

According to the introduction of relevant units, if you wear traditional Thai costumes, you can take selfies, upload social media and designate Hashtag to participate in the lucky draw. I heard that the prize is a plane ticket! Details will be updated for you.

Travel tips

Prepare the project

The Songkran Festival is coming. In the meantime, if you come to Bangkok to play, you should be prepared: you may get wet anytime, anywhere, from small to large, so don't dress too luxuriously, like a fashion show, or someone else's bucket of flying water may ruin your good mood.

In some places, everyone only cares about playing with water. If you are not careful, water may splash on you, so don't bring a big camera. A card machine or a mobile phone is enough. In addition, you can put the camera in a fresh-keeping bag and wear a waterproof bag. It's safer this way, but it's more perfect if your camera is waterproof.

As for mobile phones and valuables, you can buy some waterproof bags on the streets of Bangkok, such as 7-Eleven, and hang them on your chest. But it may not be the safest, it can be waterproof. But because there are so many people, valuables will be stolen by bad people if they are not careful. If you are interested in going to war, don't bring your wallet and expensive mobile phone. Please wrap your camera in a fresh-keeping bag and put it in your trouser pocket. You should prevent property damage and don't have a "difficult" water-splashing festival.

play

From the previous posters of the Tourism Authority of Thailand to the real situation, it was shocking because of the traditional poster image of the Songkran Festival of the Tourism Authority of Thailand: in the picture, a woman dressed in Thai costume was throwing water at a man with orchid-shaped hands with a silver bowl, and the man shyly returned a splash to the woman, but in reality it was quite another matter. There are several ways to play:

Water gun: There are many kinds of water guns, including small kettle water guns and large gun water guns, with different prices. During the Songkran Festival, it will be sold everywhere. Remind everyone, don't think it is wise to buy water guns in advance, because you can't bring' weapons' into BTS and MRT. If you enter the combat state ahead of time, you may disarm before you get on the BTS. It is better to buy it on the battlefield, that is, to buy it for fun and make people earn some money.

Ice water drenches the body: this is a painful game. There will be ice water vendors on both sides of the battlefield. They will bring their own buckets and throw them at everyone, especially when they are dragged naked. I feel very uncomfortable. However, do as the Romans do. At the same time, enjoy playing in the water. If you can't stand this kind of drama, I suggest you don't go out easily.

food

Don't say I don't know, the annual Songkran Festival will also provide some special dishes. This is just a carriage. Khaocart is ice water fishing for rice, because besides the Thai New Year, Songkran Festival also represents the official arrival of hot weather in Thailand. Therefore, it is natural to eat cold food and ice food on such a hot day, so many restaurants will provide a traditional dish called koala, which uses ice water with white rice and cold food such as pickles to help deliver meals. You asked me if I liked it? Frankly speaking, I don't like it, but I might as well give it a try in order to welcome the festival.

In addition, now is the season when mangoes are on the market, and many glutinous rice and dishes in Bangkok are imported. If you come to Bangkok during this time, remember to eat ice water with rice, and a mango dessert is enough. In addition, since this is the Thai New Year, the more grass-roots people and authentic food stalls, the more they will have a rest. Food streets and department stores are of course exceptions, but there may be long queues.
