(KPL/VNA) - Bangkok is charging ahead with
plans to host the Maha Songkran World Water Festival 2024, a grand celebration
of the Thai New Year, from April 11 to 15.
The festival, recognised by UNESCO as part of
the Intangible Cultural Heritage, promises a range of fun activities along
RatchadamnoenKlang road and SanamLuang ceremonial ground. The Tourism Authority
of Thailand (TAT) is inviting everyone to join in the celebrations to help safeguard
and promote Thailand's rich cultural heritage.
The major gathering will feature a
spectacular parade led by Miss Thailand Universe 2023, AnntoniaPorsild, as the
Songkran Goddess. The parade, showcasing representations from 16 provinces and
Thailand's soft power, including an LGBTQ parade, will move through
RatchadamnoenKlang road. Attendees can look forward to a wide range of
activities featuring concerts by renowned artists such as 4Eve, Milli, FHero,
and Bodyslam. The festival also offers a diverse selection of food through
various food trucks, alongside beautiful light decorations, installation art,
and cultural performances at SanamLuang.
A special highlight of the celebration is the
dancing fountain show, towering over 20 meters high. This is complemented by an
EDM zone designed for dancing and unlimited water splashing. More than 1,200
drones are also set to light up the sky in choreographed patterns, adding a
modern twist to the traditional festivities.
The festival is scheduled to run daily from
1:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., with as many as 2,000 seats up for grabs on April 11
and 12, guaranteeing an unforgettable experience for all attendees. For
