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.

AFS TEXAS BOARD OF DIRECTORS PLANNING MEETING
Howdy from sweltering Texas, I was honored to represent Team SYNCHRO ERP at the AFS Texas Board of Directors planning meeting in the former oil capitol of Texas, Kilgore. The surrounding area still has many oil derricks as displays of the heritage and even the road side park uses mini oil derricks for picnic table shelters.
