Splendours of Songkran 2010
Posted on 07 April 2010
The Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) invites foreign visitors to join the Thai people in celebrating the Thai New Year festivities between 13-15 April 2010, in Bangkok and major provinces nationwide. In true Thai style, the “Songkran Splendours 2010” will be marked with great fun in the Thai capital as well as in the popular tourist provinces of Chiang Mai, Sukhothai, Khon Kaen, Nong Khai, Nakhon Phanom, Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, Chonburi, Samut Prakan, Suphan Buri, Nakhon Si Thammarat, Songkhla, and Phuket. The Royal Thai Government has announced 16 April 2010, as a national holiday so the Thai people will have a long holiday from 10 -18 April 2010 (including the weekend) to celebrate the Songkran Festival. Bangkok especially becomes entirely traffic-free during this period, and hence very easy to get around, with all the department stores, shopping complexes, and other tourist attractions all still open.
