Aunque el m\u00e1s com\u00fan de los a\u00f1os nuevos es el chino, en Tailandia tambi\u00e9n celebran el suyo propio con una fiesta llamada Songkran<\/strong>. La fecha se\u00f1alada es el 13 de abril<\/strong>, aunque las celebraciones se alargan durante los dos d\u00edas posteriores.<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Esta fecha es capaz de aglutinar tradiciones como el a\u00f1o nuevo budista con la popular fiesta del agua. Probablemente es la celebraci\u00f3n m\u00e1s importante en Tailandia y se la considera como la fiesta nacional<\/strong>, de ah\u00ed que muchos turistas aprovechen esas fechas en concreto para hacer su viaje a uno de los puntos m\u00e1s interesantes de Tailandia.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

What is the water festival in Thailand?<\/h3>\n\"\"\n\n\"\"\n

Beyond Thai traditions, in recent years the custom of getting as involved in a water fight that can be seen in the streets, without any type of risk, has gained strength. . The only thing to fully enjoy it is recommended to buy some water guns<\/strong> since everyone will want to soak you.<\/p>\n

We must keep in mind that in Thailand many ethnic groups and even tribes coexist<\/strong>, so this is the perfect occasion to see this melting pot of cultures so characteristic of the country celebrating a common holiday, songkran. The term “songkran” comes etymologically from Sanskrit and its meaning is “transformation” or “change.”<\/strong> It refers to the zodiac signs with the arrival of the new year, and with this street celebration we find the contrast between the stifling heat typical of these dates and the coolness of the water, which always has sacred connotations if we combine it with Buddha, as we will explain. later.<\/p>\n

This festival is also known as the Songkran Water Festival<\/strong>, proof that Thai institutions have wanted to get the most out of this festival, around from which authentic marketing campaigns are created to attract national and foreign tourists on a special occasion.<\/p>\n

Logically, those who have a hose are the best prepared, although there have been years in which the drought has not allowed them to spend 100%. As you can imagine, Thai heat is not always easy to combat<\/strong>, so water becomes your best ally on this special date.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\u00bfCu\u00e1l es el origen esta tradici\u00f3n del agua?<\/h3>\n\"\"\n

Antiguamente, se lanzaba agua a figuras de Buda con el objetivo de bendecirla<\/strong> y luego beb\u00e9rsela o utilizarla para mostrar respeto a las personas mayores, otro de los episodios importantes durante el songkran. Est\u00e1 claro que ese sentido m\u00e1s religioso se ha ido perdiendo<\/strong> para convertirse en una verdadera explosi\u00f3n de alegr\u00eda donde adem\u00e1s uno se puede refrescar contra el pegajoso calor de la zona.<\/p>\n

A pesar de seguir siendo fiel a muchas de sus tradiciones, Tailandia es un pa\u00eds cada vez m\u00e1s occidentalizado<\/strong>, por eso ya no sorprende encontrarnos con actividades alternativas, como puede ser un concurso de Miss Songkran o, por supuesto, compartirlo todo en las redes sociales.<\/p>\n

Este tipo de celebraci\u00f3n no es \u00fanica de Tailandia, sino que tambi\u00e9n podemos encontrar festejos similares en pa\u00edses como Birmania, Laos o Camboya. Sin duda, una prueba m\u00e1s de que el mundo thai no deja de sorprendernos…<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
