Songkran 2026

[daejung]

Normally, Songkran in Bangkok takes place from April 13 to 15.

This year, however, it started on Saturday, April 12.

 

Are the dates for Songkran 2026 already known?

 

I’ve been in Bangkok several times during Songkran, and I’d like to avoid it next year.

 

Thanks!

Its always 13-15 even though that might not coincide with the actual proper cycle

 

Pattaya could run weeks**

In Bangkok, you can be pretty sure that water playing will be only from 13th to 15th.

Other places might be different

Thanks, Where did you find this piece of information?

Songkran is easy to avoid countrywide, just don't go to the celebratory areas.  2028 starts on a Monday, so simply avoid areas the Sat/Sun before, and a day or so after.

Songkran is Mon to wed this year. Would expect places like nana and Pattaya to start early
