First, let's talk about what the Songkran
festival is. The word Songkran (สงกรานต์) comes from the association of two words : Sankhara (
in Pali language ) and Sankranti (in Sanskrit language).
Those two words indicate the idea of movement or change.
Every year, in April, during Thailand's
hottest period (from April13th to April 15th ), the Thais
gather to celebrate Songkran Day during what is called the Songkran
festival, world widely known as the biggest Water Festival.
