Songkran 2024 AO NANG, Krabi Thailand

Songkran, Ao Nang, Krabi Thailand 2024. สงกรานต์ อ่าวนาง กระบี่
Our Songkran in Ao Nang on April 13 and 14, 2024. The Songkran Festival is the world’s biggest water fight. Seeing Songkran in Thailand gives a great insight into Thai culture and traditions, and it's a lot of fun! Best party ever!
Traditionally Songkran was a time that Thai people visited their temples and poured water on Buddha statues to cleanse them. This water was then collected and poured over people as a blessing. It represents purification and the washing away of one's sins and bad luck.
In modern times Songkran has evolved into a huge water fight, but Thais still carry the original intent with them. Songkran happens from the 13th to the 15th of April, however, in some parts of the country the water fights last for up to 9 days.
During Songkran, the streets of Thailand become the scene for the world’s biggest water fight, with every man, woman, and child involved. You will find Songkran celebrations in all parts of Thailand, Bangkok, Pattaya, Phuket, Chiang Mai, Krabi, and everywhere in between. As well as water fights, people smear colorful paste over others’ faces. This is colored talcum powder, and considered a good thing or a blessing, it’s origins are from the use of chalk by monks marking blessings.
Everyone is in great spirits and out to enjoy themselves and have fun. Songkran is definitely one of the best things to do in Thailand … everyone should do it at least once! I came for Songkran for the first time in 2011 and I have only missed two since. This video was filmed in Ao Nang in Krabi Thailand on April 13 & 14, 2024.

Happy Songkran mate. Looks like you had a fun time. 👍

It looks like everyone is having an awesome time. No one is complaining, getting wet, so peaceful, innocent fun. Do this in a western country, and peple will get pissed off and fights would break out Thai people are so humble and kind. Enjoyed my visit. Will definitely go back.
