Does anyone know the correct dates for next months Songkran festival, as they may coincide with my next visa application. Looking online I am seeing both from the 13th to 16th April or from the 13th to 17th of April.... 🤔
TLDR : Answer Summary
The Songkran festival in 2018 officially takes place from April 12th to April 16th, with April 12th declared a public holiday by the Thai government. There may be inconsistencies online regarding the end date, with some sources suggesting it extends to April 17th. It is advisable for expats to check with their respective Thai consulates for any changes to their operating days during this holiday, as this might impact their visa application process.
