my best holiday

My best holiday

My best holiday is Thai water festival or “Maha Songkran”; it is 3 day is holiday. Thus holiday is also Thai New Year, thus holiday hold on April 13, 14, and 15. On April 13 it is new year day, on 14th it is family day, and on 15th it is the old people day it the day were we the young people show the love and respect and thankful for the old people. “Songkran is a Thai word which means “move” or “change place” as it is the day when the sun changes its position in the zodiac. It is also known as the “Water Festival” as people believe that water will wash away bad luck.” During that day I got to play water, we like throw water to each other. It is very fun festival, people gather together, we eat, and we throw the water to each other. For people who don’t know about my culture they going to think is weird that why we have to throw water to each other. This is the culture that continues from our forefather. It held on April because during April 13, 14, 15 is the hottest day in Thailand, it is our summer time, so for having this festival held is for fun, decrease the hot temperature, and gather the family together.

This event is more fun and likeable for the teenagers, we gather around as a group and settle on street side with our water and music player, we kind of crazy during that they. It also good for the old people because this event is bringing family together, the young member show their love and respect to the elders by pouring water on to their parents and grandparent and in return the elders give us a good luck wish.

This festival not only knows in Thailand but it well knows for the rest of the people from around the world.
I very like this festival; I have fun and also show my love to my parents. This also represents a new year day and I believe I start something new and water appear to wash out all the bad luck and I start a new good life.
