BANGKOK (NNT) - In Hat Yai district, Songkhla province, the demand for vibrant flower-patterned shirts was high. Stores displayed an extensive selection of new patterns and designs, with prices ranging from 100 to 250 baht. This year, the oversized “elephant” print shirts and pants are also among the favorites.

 

The scene was bustling with shops selling water guns and Songkran gear in the Hat Yai Municipal Fresh Market. Parents bought water guns for their children, and vendors stocked up to accommodate tourists.

 

Customers shopping for Songkran attire and accessories mentioned they were preparing for temple visits and reunions with elderly relatives in various provinces. They expressed their hopes for joy, satisfaction, and safe journeys for all Thais during the festival.

 

Meanwhile, in Phitsanulok province, festivities kicked off with government leaders, local executives, and officials participating in religious ceremonies at a temple to receive blessings. They also engaged in the traditional water pouring ceremony, a gesture of respect towards elders and a highlight of the Thai Songkran festival, recognized by UNESCO as an intangible cultural heritage of humanity.

If only the government had the 10K to hand-out profits would be higher.

Me too. I wonder where all the unsold shirts disappear to.... here today gone tomorrow. I'd be willing to buy even more if they give me a little discount...
