Thai Airways celebrates Songkran festival in Hanoi
In Thailand, Songkran is celebrated as the kingdom’s most important public holiday from April 12 to 15 every year. Songkran, well-known as a Buddhist festival and water festival, marks the end of the dry season, April which is Thailand’s hottest month, and the beginning of the annual rains in the fifth month of the Thai lunar year.
On this festival, many Thais visit their local temples to pray and to wash their Buddha icons. Buddhist statues on house shrines are also cleaned. This cleansing ritual is to bring luck and prosperity for the coming year.
Especially this year, Thai Airways hosts the celebration at Noi Bai International Airport in Hanoi for their passengers who enjoy the flight from Hanoi to Bangkok today. All passengers are very surprising, curious and happy to receive the greetings and gifts from the airline. This is the first time Thai Airways co-ordinates with the Tourism Authority of Thailand to celebrate this meaningful event in Vietnam.
