Songkran 2018

[torrzent]

Does anyone know confirmed dates yet?

[SidJames]

Big day is the 19th as far as I know.

I hope so because I plan to be away & want to book my flight back for the 20th.

Maybe our resident songkran expert can confirm?

[LennyW]

Same dates every year, the week leading up to 19th April for Pattaya.

Songkran is alway 13/14/15 April

This year there are additional holidays of 16 and 17 in lieu of Saturday Sunday.

As others have said 13th- 15th, 13th is Thai new year every year, but dependent on where you are the festivities can be any-time between 11th through to 20th. The big water-fight day is on different days in different locations, Bkk I think its the 15th, Bangsaen 16th, Pattaya its the 19th, futher south from pattaya its the 20th.

The country will probably be in Songkran mode around 12 so that people can get home for holidays.  It is usually around a week so would say that government will likely shut things down on 12 and reopen on 18-19

 

But official days are 13 to 17

[ubonjoe]

These are the official holidays for this year.

13 April (Friday) Songkran
14 April (Saturday) Songkran
15 April (Sunday) Songkran
16 April (Monday) Substitute For Songkran

The Songkran thread is early this year!

 

Jsixpack needs to be made aware of this ASAP!!!!

[themerg]

April 13 every year, some provinces extend on both ends

[JayBird]

Leave on 11

Return on 21

 

That should be enough to completely avoid it and traffic.

[Jonnapat]

It's cancelled!!!!!

We should be so lucky ?????

[digbeth]

When is Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and New Year's Day every year? 

 

SAME DAY EVERYYEAR

 

It's not a holiday like Easter or other Lunar calendar-based day that moves around

Yes, the 19th, every year, any festivities before or after that date is spill over from other area
