No matter whether you are from Southeast
Asia or not, Songkran Festival is definitely one of the most important festival
to celebrate its unique tradition and the best time to emerge yourself into
exotic culture!
Quick intro here: what is Songkran Festival
and why it is so influential?
Songkran festival holiday period extends from 13 to 15 April. Keeping
with the Buddhist solar calendar, the celebration of Songkran Festival has
become one of the biggest events each year.
1 Water fight!
Grab your water gun to join the holiday fun! Wait… do not have one?
Don’t worry! During Songkran Festival, you can easily find peddlers who sell
them on almost every street in major Thai cities and towns. Or… maybe we don’t
even need a water gun! One bucket of water is enough to get everybody splashed!
2 Visit one of your older relatives in your
hometown and say hi
One
of the most essential tradition during Songkran Festival is to celebrate with
elders. In Thailand, most people will go back to their hometowns and meet their
elders. Yeah, it is the perfect time to retrospect your childhood and say
thanks you to those who are with you all along the way from your birth. And…
don’t forget to take a selfie with them and set it as your keyboard theme! And
remember, with a bigggggggggg smile ever!
3 Go out and see the parade!
As
one of the grand events, do not miss all the parades! Take a walking tour
around any major city and town in Thailand and you’ll definitely feel the heat!
While you’re out, take some time to visit local temples and offer foods to the
Buddhist monks—after all, it is a commonly practice in Southeast Asian
countries. We all know elephant is an important symbol in Buddhist culture,
that is why we have created several themes exclusively for you at this special
time! Enjoy the holiday with our Songkran Festival themes!
4 Greet your friends and strangers you meet
Songkran Feestival is all about love and forgiveness, which is also the
spirit of Buddhism culture. Do not hesitate to express your thankfulness to
your beloved ones! At the same time, wish your friends from Southeast Asia
happy new year in their own language! Wait… don’t know how to speak the
language? With Typany keyboard instant translation built-in, it would never
become an obstacle anymore!
5 Do some bodywork… spring cleaning time!
It
is also a very old tradtion on Songkran Festival to clean houses and public
places such as temples, schools and offices to welcome the New Year cleanliness
and fresh start. Finally, it’s time to abandon all the burdens, stresses and
other annoying stuff and leave them behind! After all the work remember to show
off to your friends about your achievement! Oh, one last thing. Don’t forget to
use our specially designed stickers after you send them your pictures! Life
cannot continue without a little bit of brrrrag!
