My favorite festival is Songkran festival because I will live with my family. I
will do activities with them. My family go to meeting with my grandmother at
Ayutthaya, that is a special period for me. I get up early to cook for monk and
go to the temple to make merit. And then I have a party that invite every
members to join. Moreover, I pour scented water over their elder's hands, they
in return, wish them good health, happiness and prosperity. This tradition of
paying respect, is called "Rod Nam Dam Hua". April 14 is called
" Family Day" I think Songkran festival is the symbol of start something
new happiness and celebration.
Songkran Day for me is one of the funniest festivals in Thailand. Songkran festival is
one of the most important festivals that has been performed for a long time,
not only in Thailand but also in other countries such as Laos and Cambodia.
Songkran Day is the Thai New Year celebration that has roots is using water as
a symbol of cleaning for the new year. Of all the feasts and festivals in
Thailand, which are many, the Songkran festival is the most extreme. It begins
on the 13 April and end on the 15 April, It is something like a Public Health
Cleaning Day. Water throwing among the people in a spirit of fun and goodwill
is the main activity of this festival.
