SongkranTravelers

11 APRIL 2018 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: People arriving in Bangkok get off the overnight train from Chiang Mai at Hua Lamphong train station in Bangkok on the first day of the Songkran travel period. Songkran is the traditional Thai New Year and is one of the busiest travel periods of the year as Thais leave the capital and go back to their home provinces or resorts in tourist areas. Trains and busses are typically jammed the day before the three day Songkran holiday starts. The government has extended the official holiday period through Monday, 16 April because one day of the Songkran holiday fell on the weekend, giving many workers a five day holiday.
