Feel the Spirit of Songkran at The Westin Siray Bay Resort & Spa, Phuket

Staged every April, Songkran was traditionally marked by the gentle pouring of water to cleanse the body and soul for the year ahead. Today, this national holiday sees local residents and visitors come out onto the streets of towns and cities across the country for fun-soaked water games. On Monday April 13, 2026, The Westin Siray Bay will showcase both sides of this enchanting occasion with a curated series of activities for all ages.

Songkran Day starts at 8:30am with an auspicious merit-making ceremony at Prego by the Beach, overlooking the Andaman Sea. These exquisite cultural traditions then continue at 9:30am with a long drum parade and water pouring in the resort lobby – an elegant ritual that reflects the rich Buddhist heritage of Songkran.

Then it’s time for the fun to begin! From 10:15am, the resort’s Horizon Pool will set the stage for more than four hours of exhilarating entertainment and water games, including a Muay Thai dance performance, sea boxing, ballroom dart games, a dunk tank game, and plenty of water splashing – a wonderful way to cool off during the hottest time of the year. Guests can also enjoy plenty of Thai snacks and refreshments around the pool.

As day turns to night and the sun sets over the Andaman Sea, families, friends and couples can come together for the “Songkran Feast of Flavors” – a bountiful buffet dinner at EEST, the seafront Thai restaurant. From 6-10pm, this vibrant dining experience will transport diners on culinary journey across the kingdom, with open kitchens presenting a series of regional dishes, including local Southern Thai specialties.
