How can tourists participate in Songkran celebrations in Chiang Mai?

Join water fights in the streets with locals and other tourists. Visit temples to pour water over Buddha statues for blessings. Enjoy traditional Thai food and street vendors during the festivities. Learn about the significance of Songkran through local cultural events. Dress in traditional Thai clothing to fully immerse in the celebration.

Practical Chiang Mai planning note: Expect wet streets, crowds and temporary traffic changes during Songkran. Protect electronics, use clean water, respect people who do not wish to participate and check the current programme for cultural processions and ceremonies.
