Guests were invited to watch one of Thailand's most cherished traditions, the Water Ceremony, along with other captivating dance performances.
Songkran, one of the most important of all the Thai holidays, marks the beginning of a new astrological year and is much in keeping with the old lunar calendar of Siam. It was officially celebrated this year from April 12 till 14.
