Songkran takes place during Thailand’s hottest month of the year in April. The festival embraces everyone. Thai people believe water cleanses bad luck from the past year and blesses you with fortune and happiness for the year ahead. It sees the entire country go bananas in fun water fights. There are also several street parties, musical events, and pool parties.
Songkran Water Festival is a 3-day holiday in Bangkok and many places in Thailand. However, in other parts of the country, it can last up to a week. It is Thailand’s way of celebrating the New Year, usually set from April 13 to 15. Songkran, like other water festivals in the world, is about family and religious worship. Thailand is rich in many beliefs and symbolism in most cultures. Water symbolizes “cleansing” or “rejuvenating”. Throwing water on others washes all the misfortunes and struggles in the previous year and also refreshes everything for the brand new year.

Silom Road 5 km street is pedestrian-only during Songkran. The entire section of Patpong thrives with tourists and locals carrying anything that can spray water. It is all in good fun, but be ready to get soaked. Luckily there are stalls at every street corner selling waterproof phone bags. Silom is an incredible display of colors and pure joy. You will even find fire trucks spraying water on the merry crowd. This street is surely one of the best places in Bangkok for the Songkran Water Festival.
