New Year in Thailand is celebrated with both Western extravagance and traditional warmth.
🎆 On December 31st, the sky lights up with grand fireworks, and the streets fill with music and festive spirit. Lavish parties and countdown moments are held in Bangkok and on the beaches.
💦 But the most vibrant and unique celebration is Songkran — the Thai New Year (April 13–15). During these days, cities turn into water playgrounds as everyone splashes each other with water, symbolizing cleansing, prosperity, and the welcoming of the new.

New Year in Thailand is not just a holiday, but an attempt to rediscover joy and simplicity.
