The festival celebrated in Thailand by throwing water on each other is called Songkran, marking the traditional Thai New Year. This vibrant celebration typically takes place in mid-April and involves playful water fights as a symbol of cleansing and renewal. Participants splash water on each other using various tools, including buckets and water guns, while streets are filled with festive decorations and traditional music. Songkran also emphasizes respect for elders, with rituals such as pouring water over Buddha statues and elders’ hands to seek blessings for the coming year.
