I. INTRODUCTION
1.1. Background of the SONGKRAN WATER FESTIVAL in Thailand
The Songkran Water Festival, strongly ingrained in Thailand’s cultural heritage, celebrates the traditional Thai New Year. The celebration, derived from the Sanskrit word “Sankranti,” meaning “astrological passage,” commemorates the sun’s transition into the Aries zodiac sign, representing new beginnings and rejuvenation (Intason et al., 2021). Songkran has traditionally been celebrated as a time for family reunions, elder reverence, and cleaning rites symbolized by the splashing of water to wash away the misfortunes and misdeeds of the previous year (Srivastava and Pathak, 2020).
