  Chakri Day (or the chosen substitution day) marks the anniversary of the founding of the present Chakri Dynasty of which the present ruling monarch, King Maha Vajiralongkorn, is the 10th King.
  
  The Chakri Dynasty was founded by Rama I, who came to the throne on April 6, 1782.  His reign has been called a “reconstruction” of the Thai state and Thai culture. He was the monarch who established Bangkok as the capital of Thailand.
  
  

  On Chakri Day, the Royal Family and the Thai people take part in wreath-laying ceremonies and making merit to pay respect to all the great kings who dedicated their lives to the betterment of their subjects.

• Songkran Holidays 2025

  • Start

  • Location
    Thailand

  Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year. “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.

  Families gather to express their respects to the elders by pouring scented water onto the hands of their parents and grandparents and to present them gifts. The elders in return wish the youngsters good luck and prosperity. Thais also clean their homes, temples, and public buildings to bring good luck - as well as perform bathing rites for Buddha images and monks. 
  
  A very popular part of this water festival has always been the splashing and pouring water on friends and passers-by.

  For 2025, the official bank holiday dates are April 14th through 15th.

  May 4th marks the coronation of HM King Vajiralongkorn. (In 2025, May 5th is also a Pubic Holiday) The Thai monarch was officially crowned as the tenth king of the Chakri dynasty, Rama X, on May 4, 2019.
  
  Following the death of his father on October 13, 2016, the designated heir to the throne did not immediately accept the crown. Instead, he advised the leader of the ruling military junta and the Thai parliament that he wanted time to mourn his father before accepting the invitation to ascend the throne. He formally ascended the throne at a special ceremony in Bangkok on an auspicious day that marked 50 days since the passing of his father.
