Thailand

The traditional New Year in the land of golden temples - Thailand is known as Songkran. This New Year's Day is established by the Buddhist calendar (corresponding to three days 13, 14, and 15 of the solar calendar). This Songkran year's largest celebration takes place from April 13 to April 15. At this time of year, the custom of splashing water on the seniors takes place; young people will splash water on the elderly to express respect. Elderly people hope that juniors will ignore the grumpy words of the elderly every day.

The custom of splashing water during Lunar New Year is very grand, fun, and famous around the world. It has attracted a lot of tourists, and they are very excited when people will use all kinds of items such as water guns, buckets, pots, water balloons, brass... to splash water on each other. Those who get splashed the most are said to bring good luck throughout the year.
