Is Songkran cancelled, and will DHL and Bangkok Post still operate during the holiday?
Does anybody know if Songkran has been cancelled? Specifically I am curious to know if DHL, Bangkok Post, etc will be running
Answer summary
The Songkran festivities have been cancelled for this year, but the public holiday, running from April 12-15, still remains. During this time, government services such as immigration and post offices will be closed. However, the Bangkok Post will continue publishing daily. DHL's operation status is uncertain, but it is advised to check directly with them, as they are a private company and might operate differently.

The celebrations are mostly canceled but it is still an important public holiday.

What do you mean by "running"? Bangkok Post - they will be publishing everyday. The Phnom Penh Post has said they will go on a 1 week holiday but not the Bangkok Post.
DHL - not entirely sure. But probably no delivery between the 13-15. They're incredibly slow anyway, the Thai postal service is much more reliable.
