Songkran celebration in Thailand - Songkran is the water festival in Thailand. It is well celebrated every year. As the name of the festival suggests, you literally get wet from top to toe during the celebration. As you walk down streets or travel by vehicle, you will be splashed upon. If you are not so lucky, it could be cold ice water! April is usually the hottest month in Thailand and this is also why Songkran is celebrated then. In Viking Bar, there is no difference. Our customers participate in good fun. In Koh Samui, luckily Songkran is celebrated the evening before and on the actual day itself.
