In Thailand ,there are many festivals but the one I love most is called Songkran Festival .Because of in April here, the weather is very hot. So that why there is the Songkran festival .The Songkran Festival is one of the most important festival in Thailand. It is also known as Thai Traditional New Year Day which falls on April 13 – 15 in a year. It is the great opportunity for merit-making and a special time for Thai people to have fun, traditional music, dance, games, and other activities in the pastime.In the morning, people go to the temple to make merits by offering food tomonks and novices, observing the precepts, Five or Eight precepts and listeningto the Dhamma talk. In the afternoon, they perform the bathing ceremony of the Buddha images and monks and novices who live in a temple. During this time, the younger people ask blessings from the elders. This is known as Water Splashing Feast. It might be said that the Songkran festival is the Respected festival to the elders or the Family Day. In my town , I always take my students and sons on the truck with the water jar in the back of the truck. We will drive around the town .On the street , there will full of people joyfully splash water on each other. All are wet. You can put the powder on the other’s cheeks ..Wow I love this so much..hahhahaa. Some streets will not allow the car enter but people can only walk with the water gun…It’s the festival I like most.
