Spend This Songkran at a Water Activity Center in Phuket!

Turn the fun factor to 11 this Songkran by celebrating the Thai New Year in Phuket at a water activity center!

The joy of tradition is in its happy repetition, but instead of spending this year’s Songkran in Bangkok, why not take the whole family on a fun-filled water-splashing adventure in Phuket that you won’t soon forget? Be surrounded by the vibrant and colorful Songkran Festival in Phuket while sunbathing under the gorgeous tropical sun in the south of Thailand. The country’s rich heritage shines brightest during the Thai New Year, providing a fantastic beach getaway and a cultural experience for the entire family.

The Significance of the Songkran Festival

The origins of this Thai holiday go back centuries to ancient India, where it was celebrated as a Hindu harvest festival. The festival later traveled to Southeast Asia and evolved into the Thai New Year celebration. The new year is celebrated annually in Thailand from April 13th to 15th and is a time for Thai families to reunite with their extended families to resolidify their familial bonds. Most Thais will return to their hometowns outside of Bangkok during this period.

Water Splashing Tradition

Water is one of the most iconic features of the festival, which ironically began as a gentle pouring of water over family members and friends as a blessing. Over time, this tradition has transformed into energetic water battles between friends and even strangers!

For the Songkran Festival, water symbolizes purity, renewal, and life. During the Thai New Year, people participate in water-based activities to cleanse themselves of negativity, promote good fortune, and pay respects to their elders and deities. It’s also a great excuse to have a bit of cheeky fun with your friends and family.

What better way to usher in the Songkran Festival than at a fun-filled entertainment hub? Our 17,000 square-meter crystal lagoon is the largest in the country and offers a host of water activities for an endless day of fun for the whole family.
