Dubai, 17 March 2013 – Amari, reflecting the warmth and energy of an evolving modern Asia, is offering two and three-night packages to celebrate Songkran, Thailand’s popular New Year Festival. With an array of complimentary extras including airport transfers and traditional cuisine, the Amari Songkran Splash Packages present the ideal opportunity to visit Thailand
and share the excitement and celebrations of the Thai New Year.
Celebrated between 13th and 15th April this year, Songkran is one of the most popular annual events on the Thai calendar. Originally, Songkran was a time for family members to visit and pay their respects to their elders, but today, the more traditional form of celebration is through the throwing of water. People roam the streets with buckets of water and water pistols and drench each other, as well as passers-by! The water, which is sometimes mixed with talcum powder or fragrant herbs, is a symbol of washing away misfortune to bring a clean start to the year. The Songkran Festival is celebrated all over Thailand and Amari welcomes visitors to join in the celebration of splash!
Amari offers the very best in Asian hospitality and together with the choice of a city or beach location, the Songkran Splash Packages provide the perfect holiday escape. Situated within easy reach of the main shopping areas and tourism attractions, both the Amari Boulevard Bangkok and the Amari Residences Sukhumvit are ideal for visitors who want to experience the vibrancy of the country’s capital, whereas the Amari Coral Beach Phuket invites visitors to relax and enjoy one of Thailand’s most popular and lively resorts.
