| Bangkok
Songkran Festival 2003 |
Schedule
: 7 - 15 April 2003
Venue
: Sanam
Luang and citywide, Bangkok
This traditional
Thai New Year may be celebrated all over the city, but the main
spectacles center around the old area of Bangkok near the Grand
Palace, Rachadamneon Avenue and Khaosan Road. At Sanam Luang,
the revered Phra Buddha Sihing image will be displayed and bathed
by thousands of Buddhists, while, not so far away from Sanam Luang,
in the town’s main backpacker haven, Khaosan Road, several thousands
of locals and tourists have a blast in the city’s biggest water
battle. During this festival, Rachadamneon Avenue’s charm will
be enhanced by beautiful fountains along the avenue.
