It's Songkran festival in Thailand 13-15  Apr. 2017

Thai traditional for Songkran festival.

One of the traditional values points to the Thai family and the opportunity for family members to express their respect for their elders. Younger members of the family pour scented water on the hands of their parents, and grandparents. They may present them with gifts or tokens of their love. In return, elders wish youngsters good luck and prosperity.

All the best :)

Songkran Festival (New Year’s Festival) in Thailand is celebrated on 13-15 April every year. 

It is, by far, the most popular festival in Thailand for both Thai people and foreigners alike, even though in some quarters it has become a rowdy, fun-seeking, and occasionally disrespectful activity. But for most, it is a time of purification, renewal and celebration.

Many countries near Thailand also celebrate this festival: Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar (Burma) and Thai people in Yunnan of China. Sri Lanka also celebrates a similar festival called Sinhalese, and the Tamil New Year coincides with this festival. In India, the Assamese, Bengali, Oriya, Tamil, Punjabi, and Malayali New Year falls on the same dates. The same date is celebrated widely throughout the Indian subcontinent, albeit based on the astrological event of the sun beginning its northward journey.

The Songkran Myth

In Orissa, an eastern state of India, it is the New Year and it is traditionally know as Maha Visuba Sangkranti. It seems the Thai Songkran is derived from the Sanskrit word Sangkranti which means sacred changes, mostly related to the change of orientation of Sun.
