OUR FIRST SONGKRAN in Thailand 🇹🇭 (Here's what to expect)

What is Songkran in Thailand? Where is the best place to celebrate Songkran? These were the questions we had about the Thai New Year so we went back to Chiang Mai, Thailand to get the answers, and to celebrate our first Songkran festival the right way, completely soaked at the largest water festival in the world!

Sorry in advance if there are any errors in this one. Audio was a challenge in this situation and we were so excited to edit this video that we haven't gotten any sleep. So where are you celebrating Songkran and what does it mean to you? Also, Thai subtitles coming in the week.

[@MrUltramanA]

The camera angle and song are professional level. Nice movie.

Next year, you should have your own army of 6-7 people dressed in Thai Songkran costumes. That's the same for the whole army. It should be more fun.

Hello, I'm a Thai person. If you've finished playing in the water in Bangkok, you can continue playing in Pattaya. 18 19 is a flowing day here. There will be a lot of people playing. Welcome from Thailand.❤

[@rkm4152]

A Chiangmai local here. Glad you guys are having fun. Just want to add some info about the water in the moat as people might be wondering. The city has dredged and dried up the whole circle of the moat a few days before Songkran, and refilled with fresh water. So the water is fresh (not something that had been there for the whole year). However, moat is moat. There’s mud at the bottom, plus people jumping in to fetch water, etc. As you mentioned , it’s better to protect your eyes and ears, and not let the water go into your mouth. Hope you guys enjoy the rest of Songkran :)

[@TheDetourDuo]

oh thanks for this. We didn't know that. Appreciate you clarifying

[@s222wt]

Songkran 🌊 is not just splashing water and partying, but we Thai people have done: ** Merit making and giving alms to monks. It is considered to create merit for oneself and dedicate merit to those who have passed away. ** Pouring water to wish each other a happy new year The water that is poured is usually perfumed with ordinary water and sprinkled with jasmine flowers. ** Buddha bathing involves pouring water on Buddha images at home and at temples, and in some places, monks are also bathed. ** Requiem ashes, bones of dead elderly relatives Often formed into a pagoda Then invited the monk to requiem. ** Watering adults. It means going to give blessings to respected elders and teachers. There are also many ceremonies according to the beautiful traditions of Thailand that cannot be found in other peoples. 🌏

[@TheDetourDuo]

Agreed and we talked about some of that. Happy Songkran
