Songkran is a national holiday in Thailand, and it is observed on April 13 each year, but the holiday lasts 3 days, from April 13 to April 15.
Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year and one of Thailand's most important festivals. Songkran means "movement" in Sanskrit, a classical language of South Asia, and it derives from the sun's movement from one position to another.
The holiday is the time for families and friends to gather to show respect to elders and visit temples for prayer and offering.
