The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) is celebrating the traditional Thai New Year of Songkran with two major events in Bangkok – the Amazing Songkran 2023 Celebration and the first International Amazing Splash 2023 from 13-15 April 2023 at Chula Soi 5 (Chulalongkorn University Centenary Park and Stadium One) – as well as supporting the hosting of Songkran events and festivities up and down the country.
The traditional Thai New Year of Songkran, the biggest and most important of Thailand’s annual festivals, has been celebrated for centuries and is full of tradition and culture. Named by the International Festivals and Events Association ASIA (IFEA ASIA) as one of Asia’s top three major festivals, Songkran Festival is very much a part of Thailand’s 5F soft-power foundations of Food, Film, Festival, Fight and Fashion.
The Amazing Songkran 2023 Celebration and the first International Amazing Splash 2023 in Bangkok will comprise four key elements.
The first of these being the launch of the International Amazing Splash 2023 on 13 April with a parade representing Thailand and four other countries – China, India, Japan, and South Korea – that have similar celebrations to Songkran.
The second element of the celebrations will be the Amazing Splash of the World, a showcase of international cultural events and traditions similar to Thailand’s Songkran, aimed at further strengthening cultural exchanges and international relations.
