Come and take part of the Fun Madness where ever you are on Phangan. Every village, resort or beach will create a New Year event to join!!

On Thailand New Year's Day, the Thais will pray to the Buddha, clean temples and houses, offer alms to the monks and sprinkle scented water on elders as a mark of respect.

The pouring of water symbolises the cleansing of the spirit, mind and body.

The water is also supposed to wash away bad luck - so consider yourself blessed if you get drenched!

Luckily and Happily Songkran falls during the hottest time of the year and cold water sprinkles are a welcome relief.
