The Thai government is planning a spectacular celebration for the upcoming Songkran festival, with an investment of 153 million baht. Known as the Maha Songkran World Water Festival 2025, this event is set to take place in Bangkok at Sanam Luang from April 11th to 15th. Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra has approved this funding in the hope of sparking a tourism boom.

 

 

The cabinet anticipates that the festival will attract around 800,000 visitors, both local and international, and generate about 3.2 billion baht in tourist spending. The initiative, led by the Tourism and Sports Ministry, aims to showcase the vibrant culture and spirit of Thai New Year, positioning Thailand as a prime destination for travelers during the festival season, reported Bangkok Post.
