Thailand, which is geographically close to China, has islands, delicious food and unique culture. This is a country with thousands of temples and Buddha statues, and it is also a country with a smile of faith. It can be said that Thailand is a natural tourist country. Thais are almost the country that loves festivals the most in the world. They like the joyful atmosphere brought by the New Year, so they celebrate both the Spring Festival in China and Christmas in the West.
During the Spring Festival, when you go to Thailand for a holiday, you can not only enjoy delicious food, but also see special New Year performances and decorations, and feel the rich flavor of the year! During the Spring Festival, the most festive atmosphere in Thailand is China City-Chinatown and Beilan House. In addition to all kinds of festive food and articles, there are lion dances, dragon dances, parades and "Miss China" beauty pageants on both sides of the street, which can be said to be very lively!

Thai New Year-Songkran Festival
But the "New Year" that really belongs to Thailand is Songkran Festival, which is also called Songkran Festival. Just like the Spring Festival in China, it is very grand, lively and festive. The difference is that in China, people celebrate festivals with firecrackers, while in Thailand, people celebrate the New Year with splashing water. Besides, unlike China, Songkran Festival in Thailand is fading away, and it still has various customs and traditions, attracting an endless stream of foreign tourists.
April 13 in Thailand means the end of the year, and people will hold various activities to bid farewell to the old year. On this day, people hold a ceremony to accumulate virtues, provide objects to Buddhist monks, wash, bathe and clean their bodies, and wash Buddha statues with clear water. Prepare for the new year. April 14 is a day of preparation, and families get together to help prepare things for monks the next morning. People moved sand to temples to build sand towers and decorated them with colorful flags and flowers.
April 15 marks the beginning of the Thai New Year, which is the most important day to celebrate the Songkran Festival. Traditionally, people will accumulate some merits and do some good deeds on this day, such as providing things to monks, listening to Buddhist sermons, spraying holy water on Buddha statues and monks, visiting their elders and accepting their blessings. Strict steps and pious preparation can make people feel the strong atmosphere of the New Year and abide by the tradition. Being able to participate in such a Thai New Year is very touching and unforgettable!
The most romantic festival-loi krathong
Of course, besides the biggest Gan Song Festival, there is also the most romantic festival-loi krathong, which attracts a large number of tourists every year. Loi krathong is one of the most popular festivals in Thailand, which is held in the Thai calendar 65438+February 65438+May. This festival is to express gratitude to the river god who gave life to the earth and forests, and to pray for forgiveness of human pollution. People will decorate water lantern boats made of banana leaves with flowers, light incense sticks, put coins in them, then put them in water and shake them with the wind.
Sky lanterns carry people's good wishes. At the moment of flying, couples will choose to confess or propose marriage and pray that their love will be protected by God.
Looking up is the night sky lit by thousands of lights, and at the foot is the river lit by thousands of candles. The whole town is brightly lit. The lights in the sky are swaying with the wind, such as the starry sky and the bright Milky Way. Thailand at this moment is destined to be unforgettable. Such a romantic and beautiful night, in this life, you must go with important people!
The most beautiful festival-summer festival
Summer Festival has a very beautiful and poetic name. It is also called Lent Festival in Buddhism. During this period, Buddhists should purify their minds, accumulate merits and stop drinking, gambling and killing. Moreover, monks and nuns do not go out, practice in temples, meditate and study, and accept support. Therefore, the Summer Festival in Thailand, also known as the Sit-in Festival, Summer Festival and Rain Festival, is the most important traditional Buddhist festival in Thailand, which is held every year on August 16 in the Thai calendar.
In order to welcome this special traditional festival, devout Buddhists and believers around the world plan various special festivals to celebrate, which also reflects local traditions and beliefs. This gives visitors a chance to really get in touch with some of Thailand's more unique festivals and immerse themselves in joyful traditional customs that are not found elsewhere.
Summer Festival, a very religious festival, is also a very meaningful and poetic festival. If you only travel to Thailand during summer festivals, you can go to temples to see related festivals and feel different Thai culture and charm.
