I think every country has their New year. Just like Thailand! I think not many people know that Thailand has their own New year. It is on April 13. Actually, it's not only New year. It's also family's day and Songkran festival. In Songkran festival starts from 13-15 April. This time in Thailand is the hottest time of the year so in this festival, people will throw water to each other. If you go to Thailand in this period, you'll see lots of shops that sell bowl and water guns. Usually, this festival is a long holiday in Thailand which start from April 13 to April 17 so people will continuously, throwing water until the last day of the long holiday.
