Songkran is the Thai New Year and the solar New Year across much of mainland Southeast Asia, observed from 13 to 15 April. Traditionally a time of cleansing and renewal, it involves visiting temples, washing Buddha images, and paying respect to elders, and is most famous for its nationwide water fights in the heat of the dry season. Lao, Khmer, and Sri Lankan communities mark the same window under different names. The date is fixed to mid-April. This countdown uses the start date from the Buddhist calendar engine shipped on the site.
Date rule: 13–15 April — the solar New Year in mainland Southeast Asia.
The next Songkran is Tuesday, April 13, 2027 — in 299 days. The countdown at the top of this page updates every second in your own time zone, so the number stays accurate wherever you are reading from. Because Songkran is treated as an all-day calendar date rather than a fixed clock time, the countdown rolls over at midnight in your local zone, not at midnight UTC. If you are coordinating across regions, set reminders against this date and let each person's device localise it.
This year the holiday lands on a Tuesday, which means it falls on a working day, so any public-holiday closures apply on the day itself in countries that observe it. Across the next five occurrences listed below, Songkran touches 5 different weekdays and lands on a weekend 2 of those 5 years — useful when you are planning travel, time off, or a recurring event around it.
Songkran belongs to the buddhist calendar tradition. 13–15 April — the solar New Year in mainland Southeast Asia. Movable dates like this are resolved from the underlying calendar rule rather than a fixed Gregorian day, which is why the date moves around the calendar each year. Timekit computes every occurrence in the table below from that same rule, so the dates stay consistent with the rest of the site's calendar tools and update automatically as the years roll forward.
