Centara Hotels & Resorts, Thailand’s leading hotel operator, embraced the spirit of Songkran 2025 by hosting a wide array of festive activities across its global portfolio of properties. Celebrations highlighted Thailand’s rich cultural heritage and traditions, promoting cultural tourism while offering heartfelt hospitality that reflects Centara’s core values of family, community, and warmth.
Recognised as a prime destination for Songkran celebrations, Centara welcomed guests from around the world with authentic Thai experiences. Activities included traditional water blessings for monks, almsgiving ceremonies, water-pouring rituals to pay respect to elders, and the building of sand pagodas. Guests were also treated to vibrant entertainment such as traditional long drum parades, classical Thai dance performances, Thai dress, and, of course, the joyous water play that defines the Thai New Year. These immersive experiences received overwhelmingly positive feedback from both local and international guests.
The festivities were held at Centara properties in key destinations across Thailand, including Bangkok hotels such as Centara Grand at Central Plaza Ladprao, Centara Life Bangkok Phra Nakhon, and Centara Life Government Complex Hotel & Convention
Centre, as well as regional city hotels like Centara Korat, Centara Udon, and Centara Riverside Chiang Mai. Coastal resorts also joined in, including Centara Reserve Samui, Centara Grand Beach Resort & Villas Hua Hin, and COSI Samui, alongside popular southern destinations such as Centara Grand Beach Resort Phuket, Centara Karon Resort Phuket, Centara Kata Resort Phuket, Centara Villas Phuket, Centara Ao Nang Beach Resort & Spa Krabi, and Centara Anda Dhevi Resort & Spa Krabi.
Internationally, the Songkran spirit extended to Centara’s overseas properties, including Centara Mirage Beach Resort Dubai, Centara Mirage Lagoon Maldives, and Centara Grand Hotel Osaka, where guests enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere of Thailand’s traditional New Year, enriched with cultural rituals and joyful celebrations.
Centara remains committed to preserving and sharing Thai culture through its signature hospitality, creating lasting memories for travellers from all over the world.
