Sawadee pee mai | Song Kran ChiangMai 2010

Sawadee pee mai

(Happy New Year)

Songkran is here again

Information on

Chiang Mai

&
the Far North of Thailand.


Sawadee pee mai


Songkran is Thailand's largest
celebration.

Songkran is the Thai new
year.

The largest and most
popular of the many New Year celebrations here.

Traditionally the pouring
of water over another persons hands as a mark of respect

has turned into the Worlds largest water fight.


The festival is held in
mid-April when the weather is hot and the celebrations are a relief
from the oppressive summer heat. Thailand’s countrywide water fight
festival generally lasts for three days, from the 13th to the 15th of
April.

The huge amount of water
that is spread all over ChiangMai could even cause
an early start to the wet season, what goes up must come down!


So come up to ChiangMai
Take a break from the Bangkok HEAT and enjoy!
