Songkran, Thai New Year, transforms Bangkok into a city-wide water fight and celebration that has earned global recognition. The festival's daytime chaos extends into nighttime parties that rank among the year's best.
Pool parties reach peak intensity during Songkran, with venues hosting multi-day events that combine water play, world-class DJs, and uninhibited celebration. Tickets for premium events sell quickly as both tourists and locals plan around these dates.
The main celebration zones - Silom, Khaosan, and RCA - maintain different characters. Silom draws massive international crowds to its famous road closures. Khaosan offers backpacker-friendly chaos. RCA attracts young Thai partygoers.
Beyond water fights, Songkran includes traditional temple visits, family gatherings, and cultural events. The combination creates unique opportunities to experience both authentic Thai traditions and world-class parties within the same festival.
