The Songkran festival is a Thai traditional New Year. We celebrate on April 13 - 15 .
Songkran day in Thai language we say "wan sŏng-graan" (วันสงกรานต์) The activities on this day: bpai wát (ไปวัด) to go to the temple dtàk-bàat (ตักบาตร)
or
sài-bàat(ใส่บาตร) to put food offerings into a Buddhist monk's bowl in the earyly morning.
kŏn saai kâo wát(ขนทรายเข้าวัด) To transporting sand to the temple to build a sand pagoda. We believe it is a good time
to bring
sand back to the temple after all year we went to temple and returned home with some sand or soil
stuck on our shoes. The Temple can use the sand we brought to build any buildings in the temple as
well.
