SUMMARY:AU Songkran Festival 2025
DESCRIPTION:Songkran Day is a national holiday and a special occasion for family reunions. Young Thais\, no matter where they are\, try their best to return home and celebrate with their families. In Bangkok\, where many residents come from other provinces\, the city looks almost empty on Songkran Day. \nFor the Thais who are Buddhists\, the day begins with merit making in remembrance of departed souls\, Birds and fish are set free. Later in the day\, they visit their elders for anointment rite\, The elders in return wish the youngsters good health\, longevity and prosperity. In many provinces the main Buddha image is towed in procession around the area. \nObjectives:\n\nTo comply with the University’s policy to preserve and disseminate Thai arts and culture\nTo disseminate Thai culture to both Thai and foreign students\n\nNote: Please bring offerings for monks by yourself.
