Songkran in 2026

Welcome back to the All About Thailand podcast. I’m Mike, and in today’s episode we’ve been taking a journey through Thailand’s Songkran celebrations, city by city. We started off in Bangkok, where the capital turns into a full-on festival zone — busy streets, packed tourist areas, and an electric atmosphere from morning right through to night. Then we moved down to Pattaya, where the energy shifts again — a bit wilder, more nightlife-focused, and very much geared towards visitors looking for a party atmosphere. And finally, we wrapped things up in Chiang Mai, where Songkran arguably reaches its peak in terms of tradition mixed with absolute chaos — the old city turning into one massive water fight with an incredible sense of community and celebration. So whether you’re thinking of experiencing Songkran for yourself or just curious about how different each city really feels during the festival, we’ve covered the full picture. Let’s bring it all together.:::
