What's on in Bangkok
There are some great annual events that have help put Bangkok on the map:
Songkran Festival (April)
Each year, the Songkran Festival which symbolises that New Year sees people being doused in water in a symbol of purification and cleansing for the coming year. The festival lasts three days and it’s a great way for expats who have relocated here to take part in some of the cultural festivities.
Chinese New Year (February)
With one of the largest Chinatowns in the world, Bangkok celebrates Chinese New Year in its own unique style. Expats should don as much red as possible, head down to Chinatown and enjoy the revelry, moon cakes and firecrackers.
Bangkok Marathon (November)
Due to the extreme temperatures Bangkok sees in November the Bangkok Marathon is said to be one of the world’s toughest – all the more reason for new residents of the city to get down to the streets to cheer on the runners taking part in this gruelling race.
