Headed To Thailand For Songkran? Make A Splash With These 5 Must-Know Tips!

Share on FacebookShare on Whatsapp

Time to get soaked, fam! Every April, locals and foreign tourists across Thailand unite to welcome the Thai New Year, better known as Songkran, with epic water fights that symbolise cleansing, renewal and joy.

If you’re planning to join the action (the Thai New Year falls on 14th and 15th April this year), here are five essential tips to ensure you have an enjoyable and hassle-free Songkran experience!

1. Plan Your Songkran ‘Battlefield’

Not all Songkran celebrations are the same! Here are the top hotspots you can discover:

  • Bangkok – If you want to be at the heart of the action, head to Silom Road or Khao San Road. These areas turn into massive party zones with thousands of people armed with water guns, loud music, and non-stop fun. Be ready for huge crowds and intense water fights!
  • Chiang Mai – Experience a vibrant yet culturally-rich Songkran celebration. The Old City Moat becomes a massive water playground, with people joyfully splashing along the streets! It’s the perfect spot for those seeking a blend of tradition and excitement.

  • Phuket – If you love beach vibes, Patong Beach is the ultimate Songkran hotspot. Enjoy water fights by the beach, along with vibrant nightlife and entertainment.

2. Book Your Flight At The Best Price

Avoid last-minute price hikes by booking early! The world’s best low cost airline, AirAsia, is offering 20% off all seats on all flights from 10th to 16th March 2025, for the travel period from 24th March to 30th November 2025. Click into the AirAsia MOVE App and secure your seats to Thailand now and save big on your Songkran adventure.

4. Get An Affordable Airport Transfer

5. Get Your Songkran Gears Ready!

For the most epic Songkran celebration, you need the right gear! Here’s what to pack:

  • Water gun – This is your ultimate weapon! Invest in a strong and refillable water gun to keep up with the splash battles.

  • Sunscreen & sunglasses – Use waterproof sunscreen to protect your skin under the sun and wear sunglasses to keep your eyes safe from unexpected water splashes!

  • Waterproof bag – Keep your wallet, phone, and other valuable assets safe from getting wet.
  • Comfortable clothes and shoes – Stay steady and comfortable with quick-drying shoes or grippy sandals, make sure they allow you to run easily and safely during the water fight. And don’t forget to bring a change of clothes or a small towel to dry off when needed.
