Songkran Festival in Bangkok was something I had seen online many times—but experiencing it in real life during Songkran 2023 was completely different. What looks like fun water fights on Instagram is actually a deeply cultural celebration mixed with joy, chaos, respect, and human connection. This was my first time witnessing Thailand’s New Year festival on the streets of Bangkok during the Songkran Festival Bangkok, and it left a much deeper impression than I expected.
15th April 2023 / During the Thai New Year holidays, I stayed in Bangkok to enjoy the Songkran festival. The next day I visited Chachoengsao City near Bangkok.
The vibrant atmosphere of the Songkran Festival Bangkok truly captivated me during my stay.
