We totally adore Songkran - it's Southeast Asia's biggest and best water festival that celebrates the old/new year! The Songkran Festival celebrated throughout Thailand, Laos, Myanmar, and Cambodia unites people together in the coolest way possible.
For Songkran Festival 2025, you’ll witness streets turn into complete water warfare zones from April 13-15. We can imagine now: You'll be splashing strangers with water guns in Bangkok's Khao San Road, getting soaked during Laos' "Pi Mai," participating in Myanmar's "Thingyan" festivities, or enjoying Cambodia's "Choul Chnam Thmey." We promise you’ll be wet in minutes whichever country we travel to!
But we must not forget there's a lovely meaning behind the madness. The water represents washing away our ill fortune of last year. You will see families going to temples, pouring scented water over Buddha statues, and elderly hands tenderly as a symbol of respect.
What we love most about Songkran is the way that it brings us all together beyond borders. We're all game in this celebration of fun that unites Southeast Asia in a splash of cultural heritage and unadulterated fun!
