We experienced Songkran last month in Chiang Mai and Sukhothai, and honestly… it was one of the craziest and most fun experiences of our travels.

For days, people throw water at each other from morning to night, buckets, hoses, water guns… nobody stays dry 😄

But what surprised us most was how respectful and friendly everything felt despite the chaos 🫶

We just wanted to share a few moments from this incredible festival 💦 Where were you during last Songkran?

The next Songkran will take place around April 13–15, 2027 — and we honestly think everyone should experience it at least once ✌️

After 4.5 years on the road riding our 2014 BMW F800GS from Switzerland to Thailand across 45 countries… experiencing Songkran (Thaï New Year) on our motorcycle was honestly one of the coolest moments of the entire journey 💦🏍️

We celebrated it in Chiang Mai and Sukhothai, and it turned into the best New Year experience of our lives.

Imagine riding through the city getting soaked from every direction for hours, buckets, hoses, water guns, ice water 😅 Yet somehow everything still feels incredibly friendly and respectful.

Absolute chaos. But the fun kind 😜

If you ever travel through Thailand, try to be there around April 13–15 for Songkran at least once in your life 🇹🇭
