It coincides with the rising of Aries on the astrological chart [4] and with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia , in keeping with the Buddhist calendar. In Thailand, New Year is now officially celebrated on 1 January. Songkran was the official New Year until , when it was switched to a fixed date of 1 April. Then in , this date was shifted to 1 January. The traditional Thai New Year Songkran was transformed into a national holiday.

Songkran is a term derived from Sanskrit meaning 'to move' or 'movement'. It derives from the movement of the sun from one position to another in the zodiac. According to its literal meaning in Sanskrit, a songkran occurs every month. However, the period that Thai people refer to as songkran happens when the sun moves from Pisces to Aries in the zodiac.

The correct name for this period should actually be Maha Songkran 'great songkran' because it coincides with the arrival of a New Year. The songkran festival is, therefore, a celebration of the New Year in accordance with the solar calendar. The celebration covers a period of three days: 13 April is regarded as Maha Songkran , the day that the sun moves into Aries on the zodiac or the last day of the old year. In , the Thai cabinet fixed Songkran at 12—14 April, despite the correct starting date 13 April at The celebration starts when the sun enters Aries according to the sidereal zodiac system.

The astrologers, local or royal, then make predictions about the economy, agriculture, rainfall, and political affairs according to observations between both days. According to the scripture, years equals , days. At the start of each year, it is possible to compute the number of days since Kali Yuga commenced using following formula [14] [15]. The integer result is the count of days at New Year's Day, while the remainder in kammaja suggests when the new year will start, which can be other time than midnight.

Owing to huge number of kammajas in calculation, new calendar eras were devised to solve this problem, including Minor Era ME. Following equation above, it follows that there were 1,, days since the start of Kali Yuga. The remainder of the division suggests that the new year started at kammaja after midnight. To compute Julian day at new year, following formula is computed,. This can be rewritten as. Solar year lasts , kammajas or However, Gregorian year lasts, on average, kammajas respectively. Nowadays the royal palace ceased to issue Songkran notification; they replaced it with a small calendar booklet given to the public on New Year's Day.

Government Savings Bank still prints a one-page lunisolar calendar, which is different from multiple-page solar calendar commonly seen. The calendar features the image of Songkran goddess with her vehicle and subordinates, led by Chinese zodiac animal holding a flag with Thai script for that zodiac. It also contains a comprehensive information on the correct Songkran day and religious days. Following table lists start and end dates of Songkran festival obtained from the formulae discussed above.

Chinese zodiac for each year is also given since it is also used in Thai astrology. However, Chinese zodiac in Chinese astrology changes on Lichun , just before the Chinese New Year , in February, while Thai astrology uses the first day of fifth lunar month roughly new moon in late—March to early—April. In the past there was a wealthy man and his heavy drinking neighbour.

The god asked, "Where is the glory of men sri located in the morning, during the day, and in the evening? The boy thought in vain for six days, but could not find a solution to the riddles. He lay beneath a sugar palm tree and overheard a conversation between a pair of eagles. The female eagle asked her mate whether he knew the answer. He answered, "In the morning, the sri appears on the face, so people wash their faces every morning.

At noon, the sri is at the chest where people spray perfume every noon.

In the evening, the sri goes to the feet, so people wash their feet every evening. On the seventh day, the god met the boy and demanded an answer. The boy repeated what he had learned from the eagles, the correct answer. Kabillaprom summoned his seven daughters and told them that he must cut his head off.

However, if his head fell to earth, it would create an inferno that would engulf the world. If his head was thrown into the air, the rains would stop. And if his head was dropped into the ocean, all seawater would dry up. To prevent these calamities Kabillaprom told his daughters to place his head on an elevated tray.

Thungsa, his eldest child, stored her father's head in the cave in Mount Kailash. One of them takes a phan with Kabillaprom's head. The lady stands, sits, reclines or sleeps on the back of the animal depending on the time. From the dawn to midday, the lady will stand on the back of her conveyance. After midday until the sunset, she will sit down. Even if you don't want to participate in the events yourself they might affect hotel room and air ticket availability and prices.
