Chiangmai Songkran Festival 2017

[anntheerak]

Hi everybody.... This is to announce loudly that our Chiangmai Songkran Festival will take place during 12-16 April, 2017...  All main Highway Streets in Thailand will have a terrible traffic jam because everybody returns to their hometown to celebrate this festival.  Grand Pa & grand ma are cleaning up their home waiting for sons and daughters to visit.  So please plan your journey in advance.  Attached herewith pictures of the festival... enjoy...

Hey @anntheerak,

Great photos and a very useful post. Thank you for sharing! I am actually visiting Thailand at that time and I didn't know that this is the Thai New Year.

See you around!

Hi Nadya!  Yes! Songkran festival is a new year for all Thai... we normally close all business during 13-14-15 April every year... 13th is Songkran, 14th is memorial day for the old and 15th is a family day... and everybody who works faraway from home will return to their hometown... it is the good time for son and daughter to visit their parents...  we will have a lot of good activities during the festival for example we go to the temple in the morning for religious ceremony... and  we build sand pagodas... we have fun with water splashing.  If you were in Thailand during the festival... you can join our new year... Have Fun!
