Get Ready to Get Wet: My Epic Experience at Three Days of Songkran Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
From water buckets and super soakers to hoses and cups, the people of Chiang Mai pull out all the stops to drench each other in water. And as I walk through the walled city and moat, I capture it all while getting completely soaked. It’s an action-packed adventure that you won’t want to miss. So grab your own water gun and get ready to immerse yourself in the festivities by watching my video.
When I first heard about the Songkran Festival in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I knew I had to experience it for myself. So, I booked a flight from Cairo during Ramadan and set out on an adventure like no other.
As I arrived in Chiang Mai, I was greeted with the festive atmosphere that only Songkran can provide. Everywhere I looked, people were drenched in water, laughing, and having fun. I made my way to the walled city, where the festivities were in full swing.
As I walked around, I couldn’t help but feel completely immersed in the water fight. Buckets of water were being thrown from all directions, and people were armed with water guns and super soakers, ready to drench anyone in their path. I couldn’t help but join in on the fun, and before I knew it, I was soaked from head to toe.
The best part of my experience was being able to document it all through my 4k walking tour. I captured every moment, from the joyful laughter to the water splashing, and the vibrant colours of the traditional Thai costumes.
As a traveler, I’ve seen and experienced many incredible things, but the Songkran Festival in Chiang Mai was truly one of the most unique and unforgettable experiences of my life. Being able to join in on the festivities and capture it all on camera was an adventure I will never forget. If you ever get the chance to experience the Songkran Festival for yourself, I highly recommend it.
