Songkran (Thai New Year)
The 3 day celebration is often combined with the weekend to make a 5 day break.
This holiday is celebrated with parades, religious ceremonies, and festivities throughout the country.
Water plays a big part in this holiday. It is associated with purifying things for the new year, bringing rain for a good harvest, and with fertility.
The tradition of splashing water on people has grown into a multi-day water-fight, where water guns, buckets, and hoses are used to drench everyone in sight. If you are in Thailand during Songkran, expect to get wet!
We hope all of our customers and associates in Thailand have a great Songkran.

Giving Back
During the festive season I tend to notice more than ever the divide of people who can afford a wonderful happy day and those who simple can’t make ends meet. Now this year has been slightly different with the cost-of-living crisis making everyone feel the pinch so I have pulled together a few ideas/ways you can give back this Christmas.
