Thailand’s Songkran Festival!

     Today I listened to a podcast about Thailand's culture. They talked about a traditional festival in Thailand. The festival is the Songkran Festival. It was not only a water festival but also a festival that people in Thailand celebrate for New Year based on the lunar calendar.  It is held for about three days every year.  There is a ritual similar to it in Thailand. It is the Rod Nam Dum Hua ritual. In it, people regard water as what wash their unfortunate off and pour fragrant water over Buddha statues.
