Friends, Qiuqiu's recent circle of friends is about to be contracted by the Songkran Festival in Thailand!
Friends from all over the world are gathered in major cities in Thailand as agreed, and they can feel happy through the screen.
One thing to say, the Songkran Festival in Thailand is really worth visiting!
Every year, April 13, which lasts for three days, is an important festival in Thailand. Songkran represents the removal of all evil, misfortune, and sin and the start of the new year with all good and pure.
And this year, the Ministry of Culture of Thailand directly enlarged the move!
From 1 to 21 April 2024, the World Songkran Festival will be held nationwide to celebrate the UNESCO award of the Songkran Certificate in Thailand, and the 2024 Songkran Festival is also the longest celebrated Songkran Festival in history.
During the 21-day Songkran Festival, it can be said that there are celebrations throughout the whole process, but the main water battles are still concentrated on the 12th to 16th, of course, in addition to the water splashing, the Buddha bathing ceremony, the float procession, the water offering ceremony, the sand tower building, theatrical performances and other activities will also take turns to appear, which will last until the 21st.
Although today is the 24th (past the main time of the Songkran Festival), after all, this year is a long time, and there will be many exciting and fun activities until the end of the month, so you can arrange time reasonably to feel the lively atmosphere of the scene.

I went to the Phuket battlefield last year, and I really had a good time.
During the day, you can hold a water gun and "have a water fight" with friends from all over the world, jump on the beach, choose a favorite restaurant to eat seafood in the evening, and go to the beach to walk and listen to the waves at night, not to mention more chill!
Today, this article will tell you in detail about how to play + eat in the main travel cities after coming to Thailand, and hurry up to live.
Outside of the splashing carnival
Don't forget to look for the city's attractions
/Bangkok/
As the capital of Thailand, Bangkok is the main battlefield for countless people to splash on the water.
This city of a thousand faces, even if it takes one night, it can't tell its thousands of styles. Religion, nightlife, markets, shopping districts, high-end Michelin and affordable Bib Gourmand... It's all concentrated in this city.
When you come to Bangkok, you must go to the Old Town. There are many temples here, high incense everywhere,
tips
Although there has never been an official definition of Bangkok's "Old Town", locals conventionally demarcate it as the area from the southwest bank of the Chao Phraya River to the northeast bank of the canal.
Go to the Grand Palais at dusk to encounter a dreamy sunset, and remember not to wear off-the-shoulder, waist-baring clothing, tights, shorts and skirts when entering the park.
Don't forget to pick a restaurant close to the Chao Phraya River and enjoy a drink on the top floor after sunset.

There are also many good night markets in the city, such as ICONSIAM (floating night market) on the first floor of the mall located in Icon Siam, Asiatique Pier Night Market (Ferris wheel night market), and Jodd Fairs are all worth visiting.

If you have enough time, you can also go to the "market on the railroad tracks", the Maeklong Railway Market.
There are four round-trip trains a day that pass by the bustling railway market, and it is interesting for vendors to put away their stalls in a minute before the train passes by, and wait for the train to pass before taking a business.
The Damnoen Sado Floating Market is also worth visiting, after all, many people say that the floating market is the real home of Siamese people, and it can show their life style in its entirety, and the movie "007" was also filmed here.
Boats carrying vegetables, fruits, and small commodities shuttle through the narrow waterway, and there are all kinds of special snacks and fruits on both sides of the river, which can be eaten for dozens of yuan.
/Chiang mai/
In the past two years, the popularity of Chiang Mai has been really high, and many friends around me have chosen to travel or live here.
In this small town in northern Thailand, where prices are very low, you can visit ancient temples during the day, find a café to sit in, visit the vegetable market Thai cooking classes, go to the night market to taste local snacks at night, and then end the day with a hearty SPA.

For those who like the outdoors, you can also visit Doi Suthep, which is considered a well-known local landmark.

The most popular stop for tourists is the hilltop temple, which is recommended to be visited early in the morning to avoid the heat and crowds and watch the city's twinkling lights fade as the sun rises.
You can also visit Oprang National Park with its striking canyon views, named after Thailand's highest peak, and Doun Anchana National Forest, which has waterfalls and caves by day and stargazing from the mountains at night.
/Phuket/

It is the green pearl of the Andaman Sea, the largest island in Thailand, and the only island with its own administrative division, and the Phuket battlefield I chose for Songkran last year.
You can go to the cost-effective Rawai Seafood Market to buy lobster, organize a group to watch a blood-pumping Muay Thai boxing, and experience Phuket's local horse killing chicken that can make you "cool to scream"...
Also, if you're coming now, be sure to catch your tail and take a trip to Similan, which is only open from November to April, and is consistently ranked among the top 10 diving in the world.
When I went before, I was looking for a day trip directly at the OTA, but the downside was that I had to wake up very early and take a car to the port of Khaolak and then take a boat to the Similan Islands.
Believe me, the fatigue of the journey will dissolve the moment you see the sea of jelly in Similan, and it will be worth it.
/Pattaya/
Pattaya is synonymous with a holiday in Thailand, a city nestled on the east coast of Thailand known for its stunning beaches, lively nightlife and rich cultural activities.
In this small city, every corner is full of unknowns and surprises.
If you like snorkeling or diving, there are stunning coral islands with crystal clear waters;
If you're looking for a natural life, Pattaya also has tourist farms like the Tropical Botanical Garden and the Butterfly Garden. Here, you can see a variety of tropical plants and insects, which is perfect for walking your baby.

If you're looking for a glimpse of the area's cultural and historical attractions, visit the Temple of Truth, famous for its carved wood architecture, and get a panoramic view of the city from Pattaya's hilltop observation deck.
Bring a 1TB stomach to come
Thailand is so delicious!
To tell the truth, every time I come to Thailand, I am fat and return to China, and there are a lot of delicious temptations from morning to night.

The sour Tom Yum Gong soup is spicy and spicy with freshness, which makes people feel appetizing;
My favorite coconut ice cream, the real coconut meat is fragrant and fragrant, sprinkled with some ground peanuts, which is delicious to cool off the heat;
The green papaya salad that is so spicy that you can't stop crying out of your eyes has a sweet and sour taste...
Anyway, remember to bring 1TB of stomach to come
/ Mango sticky rice /
No girl can say no to mango sticky rice!
The mango sticky rice sprinkled with coconut milk is wrapped in sweetness and the fragrance of mango, spreading on the tip of the tongue, and you must order it!
/Pad Thai/
Pad Thai is also one of the most well-known dishes in Thailand, and it is the kind of dish that you will never get tired of ordering countless times.
The secret of this dish is to add a variety of spices, fish sauce, garlic, red pepper and all kinds of seafood, just one word: fragrant!
/ Green papaya salad /
Green papaya salad is really so popular locally in Thailand that it even ranked sixth in the world's best salad menu in 2023.
You'll find it in any restaurant in Thailand, and the perfect combination of shredded papaya, tomatoes and peanuts is squeezed with spices like lemon, chilli and fish sauce.
/Crepes/
On the streets of Thailand, you will definitely see cart crepe stalls, and I buy a few to try almost every day in Thailand.
In fact, the method is to coat the crispy crust with Thai custard, then add the filling and fold it in half.
There are also many flavors, honeydew melon, golden silk, coconut, taro, roasted white sesame seeds, roasted peanuts and thinly sliced persimmons, served with palm sugar.
I love the coconut flavor, which is soft and crispy in the mouth, with a rich coconut aroma and an endless aftertaste.
It's a visa-free INGZHI, take this Songkran + shopping and eating strategy around the country to go to Tyrande for the summer early.
