In mid-April each year, Thailand celebrates Songkran, the Thai New Year. While festivities occur all over the country, the most lavish of celebrations occur in the northern city of Chiang Mai. Held over a four or five day period, Songkran begins with a monk blessing and alms-giving ceremony, followed by the presentation of Songkran queens and a full program of cultural performances.
