April 2023’s festivals and events in Thailand

The biggest and most important of Thailand’s annual festivals, the world-famous Songkran Thai New Year is a time when family comes first, respect is paid to seniors, and people visit the temples to take part in traditional ceremonies. It is officially observed as a three-day national holiday from 13-15 April, although there are some locations that stage unique local festivities a little later.


Songkran Festival was named by the International Festivals and Events Association ASIA as one of the three major festivals of Asia in 2021.
