Hi Huneybees,
Songkran is a term derived from the Sanskri. It is also commonly known as the traditional New Year celebrated in Thailand and several Southeast Asian countries such as Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, among others. The Songkran Festival has also been observed as a symbol of hospitality, love and the importance of maintaining strong relationships within families, communities and society as a whole. With water-splashing activities removed, there will be a carnival area, including more rides, games and activities to make the event equally. They are confident that by removing water splashing activities from the event will not remove the true meaning of Songkran.
