About Songkran Festival
The Songkran Festival, also known as the Thai New Year, is a vibrant and exuberant celebration annually in Thailand every April. It is a significant event that marks the end of the dry and hot season and the beginning of the rainy season, a time for renewal and rebirth. The festival is centered around water, and people traditionally participate in water fights and splash one another with water to symbolize cleansing and renewal. The Songkran Festival has become a popular attraction for tourists from around the world, drawn to the lively atmosphere, colorful parades, and the chance to experience the unique culture of Thailand. If you're planning a trip to Thailand in 2023, add this festive event to your itinerary for an unforgettable experience.
Things To Do For Gay Men
Songkran is a festival that is celebrated by people of all genders and sexual orientations in Thailand. However, there are some activities and events that may be of particular interest to gay men during Songkran. Here are some suggestions:
Attend LGBTQ+ events - Many cities in Thailand have LGBTQ+ events and parties during Songkran, such as pool parties, club events, and drag shows.
Visit gay bars and clubs - Thailand has a vibrant gay scene, and many gay bars and clubs host special events and parties during Songkran.
Participate in the water fights - Water fights are a big part of Songkran, and many gay men enjoy participating in the festivities and meeting new people.
Relax at a gay sauna - If you prefer a more relaxed and intimate environment, you can visit a gay sauna like Chakran Sauna in Bangkok, which often hosts special events and parties during Songkran.
Place to Stay
For the perfect place to join the Songkran 2023? First, you need to decide if you are going to attend the G-Circuit Party. If yes, staying near the central world is the best option. You should know that most of the party is happening at the BANGKOK CONVENTION CENTER, LEVEL 22, CENTARA GRAND. Therefore, you can send your harvest home immediately. If you do not attend the parties, I would recommend staying in the Silom area for a water fight.
