YoPhuket Wishes You a Happy Songkran Festival

Happy Songkran from all of us at YoPhuket! As Thailand welcomes the Thai New Year with joy, water, and good wishes, we invite all travelers to experience the cultural beauty and festive spirit of Songkran in Phuket.

1. What is Songkran?

Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year celebrated annually from April 13th to 15th. It’s a time for family reunions, paying respect to elders, and spiritual cleansing. Most famously, it’s known for the lively water fights that fill the streets across Thailand — symbolizing the washing away of bad luck.

2. Songkran in Phuket: A Unique Celebration

Phuket offers a fun and vibrant take on Songkran with a perfect mix of tradition and tropical island atmosphere.

• Patong Beach: The heart of the action, with non-stop water fights and street parties.
