Some lovely holidays in Thailand

Some festivals of Thailand are really interesting where you will get something unique about the city it is celebrated. This would be really good if you get a chance to visit the city during any one of this celebration time. Some are mentioned below:

Songkran: This festival brings some light wave to the Thai people. This is mainly celebrated during Thai New Year i.e. in April. Generally April 13th, 14th and 15th are the days but it also varies sometimes. In this festival people throw water on each other. The main thought behind this action is that Thai people think this will wash off their sin from the past years. You will get water pistols and super soakers everywhere in the city. You can feel the actual enjoyment in Pattaya, Chiang Mai, Khao San Road area in Bangkok, Ko Samui and also Phuket. But if you don’t like to get wet, this is not the right time for you to come to Thailand. Sometimes people even splash iced water on each other. After three long days the whole city becomes drenched in water. It is advisable to wear dark colored clothes as light colors can become transparent after splashing water.

Coronation Day: This is celebrated on May 5th. This records the crowning of the current King in 1950.

Loy Krathong: This one falls on the first full moon day in the twelfth month in Lunar calendar. The month is usually November. At this time people float candle laden banana leaf, flower and other auspicious things in the water of sea and also in swimming pools of hotels. They believe that in this way they float away their bad luck and welcome the new things. Many Thai people float some strands of hair and nail clippings in the karthong i.e. banana leaf boat. They say that if you wish something and the karthong floats out of sight before the candle burns out, your wish will be fulfilled. This is a traditional festival of Thailand which is celebrated with a holy heart.
