- The celebration is supposed to have originated in a Hindu spring festival in ancient India that marked the start of the new crop season. While other Southeast Asian countries have traditional new year celebrations, Thailand's Songkran is the most well-known worldwide. The Songkran festival itself is based on a Buddhist legend.
