In Thai Culture class, we learned about the Songkran Festival. We started by greeting each other with a wai, singing สวัสดี song, and dancing to “รำวงเริงสงกรานต์” and “โอ้...ทะเลแสนงาม.”
We enjoyed listening to a story about Songkran told through the characters Kung King and her family. Songkran in Thailand is a festival and also a special time for families, when everyone returns home to reunite with grandparents. During this time, families take part in activities together such as building sand pagodas at the temple, playing water, making merit, pouring water over Buddha images, and performing the Rod Nam Dam Hua ceremony to ask for blessings from elders like grandparents. Families also cook and share meals together.
After that, we made Songkran necklaces or garlands. We also performed the Rod Nam Dam Hua ceremony to receive blessings from our teacher and built sand pagodas together.
