Fact: Thailand turns into a giant splash zone for Songkran, the country’s traditional New Year. What started as a gentle water-pouring ritual to show respect and wash away bad luck has transformed into full-blown street water fights. People visit temples, pour water over Buddha statues, and celebrate with family—then grab buckets and water guns for the fun. Whether you’re making merit or getting drenched, Songkran is all about starting fresh—one splash at a time.
Correct Answer: Cleansing and renewal
