Every April sees the arrival of the Songkran Water Festival, also known as Thai New Year. Celebrated in 2012 from April 13 to 15, the festival embraces goodwill, love, compassion and thankfulness, using water as the means of expression. Originally a sign of respect, the traditional water pouring has evolved into good-natured country-wide water throwing, with locals and tourists alike roaming the streets armed with containers of water, or waiting on the side of the road with a water pistol to drench friends and strangers alike – all in the name of fun.The fun continues at Four Seasons Hotel Bangkok, where a special Songkran Package is available so that guests can join in the festivities too. The three-night package includes daily breakfast, a special Songkran Survival Kit for guests staying on April 13, 14 and 15, and complimentary access to the Executive Club for guests staying three nights or more, the perfect spot to relax if all the excitement of Thai New Year starts to take its toll.
