Bring This Event Home:
After visiting the Wat Promwachirayan temple for this fun cultural festival, consider bringing the fun home with more activities.
- Water Play. During Songkran, families often bless each other with water, this can turn into a splashing good time.
- Bathing Outdoor Statues: Songkran is the time to clean statutes of Buddha. If you don’t have a Buddha statue, think of this weekend as a good time to do a spring garden blessing, bathing all the outdoor decor.
- Thai Food Night. Pull out your favorite recipe or get some takeout.
- Create some Thai-inspired crafts: My favorite thing about arts and craft fairs with children is getting creative ideas to try at home. Did you see anything at the market that inspired you to create?
- Surf the Internet: Learn a little more about Thailand and/or Thai Buddhism together.
- Find a family-friendly Thai Movie:
- Use your library card: Kanopy (library streaming service) has several documentaries about Thailand
- Netflix: Khan Kluay / The Blue Elephant and Echo Planet are available on Netflix
- Roku: Yak: The Giant King is available FREE on the Roku channel
