United across the world to celebrate Songkran


 

We are happy to celebrate the Thai New Year with our customers across the world.  

 

Thai New Year

 

The Songkran festival is the traditional New Year's Day and it is celebrated from 13th to 15th April. The word "Songkran" comes from the Sanskrit, literally "astrological passage", meaning transformation or change. In fact, it celebrates purification and the washing away all of their sins and bad luck. For this reason, performing water pouring on Buddha statues is considered an iconic ritual for this holiday as well as water fights. Celebrants, young or old, participate in this tradition by splashing water on each other. 

As a festival of unity, people who have moved away usually return homes to their loved ones and elder family members. We are pleased to share this feeling of unity with all our clients. Happy Thai New Year everyone!
