When Songkran is approaching, people instinctively bring out colourful shirts to wear as a gesture to celebrate the occasion. Popular tourist attractions most people think of during this time include the Mon-style Songkran celebration in Sangkhla Buri, Kanchanaburi, where they can also visit the spectacular Saphan Mon wooden bridge, and Songkran revelry in Phra Pradaeng in Samut Prakan, where elaborate events are hosted by TAT. The Phra Pradaeng Songkran features colourful processions, a beauty pageant, bird and fish release, performing arts and traditional Mon performances. For example, a new date is set for Songkran revelry to match with official holidays and not clash with other major festivals. As the Songkran festival is near, it is superficial if we only care about the Mon khao chae and Songkran fanfares.
