Now it is possible to celebrate the New Year in April too! Thailand organizes the weekend of joy by celebrating the Thai New Year, also known as the water festival. It starts on April 13 and lasts until April 15.

This festival represents the positive blessings to wash away all the bad luck and sins of the previous year by visiting temples, offering food to Buddhist monks and pouring water on Buddha statues.

Then, tourists and locals celebrate the rest of the weekend by throwing water at each other. You can attend this festival in any Thai region and also in Laos, Burma, and Cambodia.
