Experience the Thai New Year 2025
At Panphuree Hotel
Songkran, Thailand’s vibrant New Year celebration, is just around the corner, and it’s a perfect time to immerse yourself in the rich traditions and joy that come with the festival. This exciting event marks the start of the Thai solar calendar year and is celebrated nationwide with water fights, temple visits, and family gatherings. It’s a celebration of renewal, cleansing, and good fortune.
What’s Songkran All About? Songkran is more than just a water fight—it’s a deeply cultural tradition. The festival, which takes place from April 13 to 15, is centered around the idea of cleansing and renewal. Thai people pour water on each other as a symbol of washing away bad luck and welcoming a fresh start for the new year. The festivities also include visits to temples, where people pay respects to their elders and make offerings for blessings. It’s a time for family reunions, vibrant street parades, and traditional Thai dances.
Join Us for the Fun! At Panphuree Hotel, we provide a welcoming atmosphere where you can fully embrace the spirit of Songkran. Not only can you participate in water celebrations, but you can also experience the warmth of Thai hospitality, taste authentic cuisine, and enjoy a relaxing stay.
Explore the Nearby Temple: Wat Mong Kol Wanaram (Wat Nai Yang)
While you’re celebrating Songkran, take the opportunity to visit Wat Mong Kol Wanaram, locally known as Wat Nai Yang, a serene and sacred temple located just a short distance from the hotel. This temple is significant not only for its peaceful setting but also for its lush, natural surroundings. The temple is nestled among an abundance of trees, creating a calm, forest-like atmosphere that feels wild and untouched, making it a perfect spot for reflection and spiritual renewal. It’s not quite a forest, but rather a wild, natural space where visitors can escape into the beauty of nature.
During the festival, Wat Nai Yang hosts ceremonies where you can join the locals in paying respects to the Buddha, receive blessings for good health and prosperity, and immerse yourself in the temple’s peaceful, nature-filled environment.
