One of the oldest festivals in Thailand - Songkran - marks a shift, on the astrological calendar, when the sun enters the constellation Aries into the constellation of Taurus, as well as changing seasons. As you know, in Thailand there are three seasons: the rainy season, cold season and hot season. In the Thai New Year Songkran occurs during the rainy season. The choice this time of year due to the imminent start of planting season, because traditionally welfare and prosperity of the country is closely connected with the harvest of rice, a staple food of all times and peoples of Southeast Asia.
NOTE: In Pattaya this week is a holiday! From 13th to April 19th! If you have bad carry water, refrain from walking all day long. If you decide to join the fun, then get dressed on the basis that you have to be wet to the skin throughout the day (wet jeans can rub the skin in the most unexpected places), do not take with them documents, money and wallet, mobile telephone and other wrap in plastic wrap.
