Festivals

If you want a peek into the age old culture of the Sisaket province around the villa, you must catch a glimpse of some of the popular festivals celebrated here. The town and province of Sisaket is all wrapped in colorful festivities at the time of ostentatious celebrations. Situated to the west of Ubon Ratchathani in the Isaan area of Thailand, Sisaket attracts tourists in droves. Visit Sisaket during summer and enjoy the colorful water festival. Our villa offers you a close access around Sisaket. Visit the Sisaket province and indulge in the 13th of April New Years Water festival.

The temperature reaches its maximum limit during summer. The Songkran Water Throwing festival is celebrated during this time to brave the heat. Water is thrown throughout the month of April, as temperatures peak at this time. The festivities take place over four days-from the 13th of April to the 15th, and sometimes 16th. In the past, people sprinkled water on each other. But today, people throw buckets of water on each other. One of the rituals of the festival was to render respect to the elders by putting water on the hands. The various families will pour water on those, who are to be revered. A container known as khun oh is filled with the fragrances of dried and fresh flowers.

The festival is also celebrated in the nearby Countries of Burma and Laos,and Cambodia. Today the festival only concentrates on throwing water on each and having fun on all the four days. 'Get wet and have fun' is what the Thai people have to say!
