The festive spirit, a philosophy in Thailand
♪ Thailand as nowhere else, the sense of the feast is an integral part of all the inhabitants. Whether to greet a religious or secular event, local or international, Thais are celebrating!
Some festivities date back to the 13th century, like Loy Krathong, which is a party of lights, others are more recent but one thing is sure, in Thailand the festivities go good train!

Every year, new festivals see the day and welcome even more and more tourists, who have come to share euphoria with the inhabitants on the occasion of these few rituals important for the future of the nation. A euphoria found in the New official year of Thailand , called Songkran. It is not the tourists who have already been able to attend that will tell you the opposite...
Songkran takes place between 13 and 15 April, once the population visited the temples and sprinkled the head of water. Today, let’s say that the party has taken another magnitude and has become one of the world’s largest water battles!

If you don’t like water, don’t get out of the hotel’s foot because it’s just impossible to escape from one of these pick-ups carrying festards with water guns and other large tanks. The protagonists also flock in the streets to asperish any passerby in the vicinity...
Thai youth starved especially around the mythical Kao San Road , the backpackers district, but it is in Chiang Mai, in the north of the country that the party beats its full. Visitors from all over the world and from all over the country find themselves celebrating this incredible celebration together! So if you like to enjoy the water games being a child, go celebrate the Thai New Year, you will not be disappointed... Four or five days of parties that will undoubtedly be memorable and wet!
