Songkran in Ao Nang
Culture, Krabi
Ao Nang Beach and Krabi are generally known as laid-back, quiet holiday destinations. All this changes on Songkran however, the Thai New Year: water will be splashed on passers-by, sometimes from pickup trucks driving past. In general this is a time to enjoy oneself following the Thai attitude of sanook, which means having fun.
