Thailand’s Songkran Festival!
Today I listened to a podcast about "Thailand's Songkran Festival". They said that a traditional Thai New Year is based on the lunar calendar . In a sense , that festival is a water festival, but it is not only a water festival. That festival takes a place typically from the 13th to the 15th of April. The first day is an official National Elderly Day, so young people pour fragrant water into the senior citizens' palms . They also go to temples to give alms to the monks and to do "bathing the Buddha image". To do "bathing the Buddha image" means to pour fragrant water over Buddha statues. I think that culture is very interesting.
