Songkran With MoveOn

Thai New Year or Songkran is the Thai New Yearnational holiday. Songkran is on 13 April every year, but the holiday period extends from 14 to 15 April. In 2018 the Thai cabinet extended the festival nationwide to seven days, 9–16 April, to enable citizens to travel home for the holiday. In 2019, the holiday was observed 9–16 April as 13 April fell on a Saturday. 

The word “Songkran” comes from the Sanskrit word saṃkrānti, literally astrological passage, meaning transformation or change. It coincides with the rising of Aries on the astrological chart and with the New Year of many calendars of Southeast and South Asia, in keeping with the Buddhist and Hindu Calendar. 

The New Year takes place at around the same time as the new year celebrations of many regions of South Asia like China ( Dai people of Yunnan Province), India, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.
