With Songkran coming up, we wanted to shed light on this traditional Thai New Year celebration. Songkran derived from the Sanskrit word sankranti, meaning “to pass into” or “transit”. Rooted in ancient Hindu-Buddhist traditions, it marks the sun’s shift into Aries. Historically before the water fights, Songkran was celebrated as a quiet, ritual based reset.
Puang Malai are hand-threaded floral garlands, most commonly made from jasmine, roses, orchids or marigolds — symbolises purity and respect, are offerings to the sacred and our loved ones for blessings and protection.
To celebrated Songkran, EQ and 965 are hosting a Malai workshop this Thursday, April 9th @965 Soi Wanit 2.
