STORY: Celebrators, a considerable number drenched, strolled along the half-kilometre (0.3 mile) stretch of Bangkok's bustling tourist center Khaosan Road.

“It’s so nice. We have a good time, really good time,” said a group of French tourists.

The Songkran holiday, marking the Thai New Year, will span five days from April 12 to 16. The beloved festival was included in the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO in December 2023.
