Every year, the Songkran Festival in Thailand is very lively, and there may not be so many people affected by the epidemic this year. However, at present, the Songkran Festival in Thailand has been scheduled, and there is still more than one month before April. You can see if you want to go to the event later. Time
The Songkran Festival in p>2121 is scheduled for April 13-15. For Thais, Songkran Festival = New Year. Every big city and town in Thailand has different celebrations, and local people will have a red day for five days in a row.
In addition to the Water-splashing Festival activities in major towns, Thailand Tourism Bureau will jointly offer free rides with Bangkok Transportation Bureau to facilitate people and tourists to participate in the traditional Buddha bathing ceremony.
At that time, there will be a free shuttle bus to take people and tourists to and from ten famous Buddhist temples in Bangkok, so as to facilitate people to pay homage to Buddha and pray for all the best in the new year. The service time is from 8 am to 4 pm every day, starting from the Victory Monument. Pay attention to clothes and etiquette when visiting temples.
As always, Silom Road is an inevitable battlefield. If you want to participate in the war and watch the war, just go to Silom Road. I believe there will be large and small celebrations in the open air outside other large shopping malls. There are also more polite ones. For example, Bangkok Metropolitan
Administration will hold an annual celebration in Lumpini Park this year, which used to be in CityHall or Royal Field. This year, in order to attract tourists, it will be changed to Lumpini Park closer to Silom
Road. Date is 13-15.
What's more special is that there will be a Miss Song Ganjie beauty contest this year, which is divided into four groups, namely, children's group (5-9 years old), girls' group (18-25 years old), seniors' group (61 years old+) and giants' group (81kg+), which is quite a stunt.
According to the relevant units, if people wear traditional Thai costumes to attend, they can take selfies and upload them to social media, and participate in the lucky draw by designating a Hashtag

preparation
The Water-splashing Festival is coming. If you come to Bangkok to play during this period, you should be prepared to some extent: you may get wet at any time and place, from small to big, so don't dress too luxuriously as if you were doing a fashion
show, or someone else's bucket of water may ruin your good mood.
In some places, everyone is only interested in playing with water, and if you don't pay attention, the splash may splash on you, so don't bring a large camera, card machine or mobile phone. In addition, you can put the camera in a fresh-keeping bag and wear a waterproof bag, which is safer, but it is more
perfect if your camera is waterproof.
As for mobile phones and valuables, you can buy some waterproof bags in the streets and alleys of Bangkok, such as 7-11, and hang them on your chest, but they may not be the safest. They can do waterproof functions, but because there are many people, there are bound to be bad people who will steal valuables if they are not careful. If you are interested in going to the battlefield, don't bring your wallet and expensive phone. It is safer to wrap your camera in a fresh-keeping bag and put it in your trouser pocket. Everyone should prevent property damage and don't have a water-splashing festival that is "difficult" to forget.
How to Play
From the previous posters of the Tourism Authority of Thailand to the real situation, it is shocking because of the traditional image of the posters of the Tourism Authority of Thailand about the Songkran Festival: a woman in a Thai costume is shown in the picture sprinkling water on a man with an orchid hand with a silver bowl, and the man shyly retaliates the woman with a splash, but in reality it is quite another matter. There are several ways to play:
Using a water gun: There are many kinds of water guns. During the Songkran Festival, it will be sold everywhere. Remind everyone, don't think it's wise to buy water guns in advance, because you can't carry' weapons' when you enter
BTS and MRT. If you enter the combat state in advance, you may have been disarmed before you go to BTS. Might as well go to the battlefield to buy, that is, buy and play, but also make people earn some money.
drenching with ice water: this is a painful way to play. There will be small ice water vendors on both sides of the battlefield. They will bring their own buckets and splash them at everyone, especially when someone takes off their clothes and leads them down. It feels really uncomfortable. However, when in Rome, do as the Romans do. In the meantime, just play with the water to your heart's content. If you can't bear this kind of play, I suggest you don't go out easily.
Food articles
Needless to say, you don't know, the annual Water-splashing Festival also offers some special dishes, which are
Khao cars. Khao car is just ice water for rice, because the Songkran Festival is not only the Thai New Year, but also the official arrival of hot weather in Thailand. Of course, you have to eat some cold and iced food on such a hot day, so many restaurants will provide a traditional dish called Khao car, which is eaten with ice water and white rice, supplemented by kimchi and other cold food. Do you ask me if I eat well? Frankly speaking, I don't like it, but I might as well try it for the festival.
In addition, it is the season when mangoes are on the market, and many glutinous rice and dishes in Bangkok are launched. If you come to Bangkok during this time, remember to eat ice water for food, and another mango dessert will be enough. In addition, since this is the Thai New Year, the more grass-roots and authentic food stalls are, the more they will have a rest. Of course, the department store
foodcourt is an exception, but there may be a long queue.
