April 13 begins the three-day New Year’s celebration throughout many Southeast Asian countries including Thailand. The holiday, called “Songkran,” in Thai is a day for honoring one’s elders, decorating statues of Buddha and giving rice and other food to Buddhist monks, and throwing water as a sign of good luck and prosperity.
