Each year Songkran celebrates the end of one astrological time and the start of the next. From sanskrit meaning astrological passage, the festivities are focussed upon water. There is a serious side for the many Buddhists, to make merit (give offerings and ask for forgiveness) to remember the poor and less fortunate and to give back to society in the form of money and food offerings. In this way, it helps the giver as well, by gaining favour for the next life.
