What is Songkran?
Songkran marks the Thai New Year, traditionally held in mid-April, and is one of Southeast Asia’s most joyful and symbolic festivals. The word “Songkran” comes from the Sanskrit word meaning “to step into” or “to pass into,” symbolizing new beginnings, cleansing, and renewal.
Celebrated with water splashing, merit-making at temples, family reunions, and street parades, Songkran is much more than just fun—it’s a spiritual and cultural tradition where water is used as a symbol to wash away the past year’s misfortunes, leaving you refreshed and ready for the new year.
And now, for the first time in Malang, you don’t need to travel to Thailand to join the celebration!
