Everything Everywhere Daily - Songkran (Encore)

Songkran is a traditional festival celebrated in Thailand that marks the start of the Thai New Year. It is also known as the Water Festival, as it involves splashing water on one another as a symbolic gesture of cleansing and washing away the sins and bad luck of the previous year.

However, it has since evolved into something much more than a religious observance. It has become the world’s biggest water fight. 

Learn more about Songkran, the Thai New Year’s celebration, on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
