Songkran — Thai New Year
Date: April 13-15
The Thai New Year and the world's largest water fight. It is celebrated across Thailand, but Chiang Mai has the country's most intense version — the Old City and moat become a three-day water battle that makes no distinction between tourists and locals or age groups. The objective is to get completely soaked. You achieve it. Travel with clothes you don't mind ruining, wrap your phone in a waterproof bag and forget any work plans for those days.
