Celebrate again with T.H.A.I. in Shirlington during the Thai New Year of the “Snake.”

A snake year is considered a year of challenging, consciousness and self-control. Songkran, means “Festival of Pouring Water” (which officially begins April 13th.) It has evolved into a family gathering day, with youngsters pouring water to older family member to show respect. Girls help their mothers and grandmothers prepare big pots of noodles for family and friends who visit, since eating long noodles during Songkran is believed to increase chances of a long life and prosperity.
