From pool parties to EDM festivals, here are the top spots for a more grown-up Songkran in Bangkok.
While Songkran is traditionally a time for family, the three-day marathon often calls for a different kind of celebration.
If you’ve already ticked off our kid friendly Songkran picks and things to do with kids in Bangkok, the Thai capital also serves up a whole lineup of splash-filled events where you can take an actual break from the little ones.
For 3 days from 13–15 April (some places offer more days), you can join the street action at Khaosan and Silom, cool off at pool parties at SO/ Bangkok, W Bangkok or Centara Grand. Or head to bass-heavy crowds at S2O and Siam Songkran Music Festival.
Here are the top spots to celebrate Songkran in Bangkok with a more grown-up splash.
Top places to celebrate a kid-free Songkran in Bangkok
1. Khaosan Road
This historic road in Bangkok’s Old Town serves as one of the main hubs for Songkran in Bangkok. The entire stretch closes to traffic and transforms into a full-scale water battleground. It draws both locals and tourists who come to cool off and celebrate. Buckets, water guns and anything that can hold water quickly become part of the action. Bars and pop-up stages blast EDM and chart hits from day to night. Entry checkpoints help keep things safe, so you can focus on the fun.
Where: Bangkok Old Town, 20 minutes walk from MRT Sam Yot, Bangkok

When: 13–15 April, midday onwards
2. Silom Road
If you prefer more room to move than Khaosan Road, head to Silom Road for Songkran in Bangkok. This 2km stretch becomes a pedestrian-friendly zone during the Thai New Year. Many venues along the street also bring their own themed parties. Highlights include the “CP Splash to Space” experience at CP Tower Silom, with interactive installations and live concerts by T-pop artists.
