April 13, which is the first day of the AVC Beach Tour 24th Samila Open, is called \u201cMaha Songkran Day,\u201d meaning the day marking the end of the old year in Thailand.<\/p>\n<p>Songkran is traditionally celebrated every year on the Thai New Year between April 13 and 15. It is true that the modern aspect of Songkran hinges upon the splashing of water in celebration of the so-called Thai New Year, However, there exists a very important cultural and religious significance that underpins the vibrant revelry known as the world\u2019s wettest and wildest water fight. And Songkran 2025 looks set to offer never-ending funs to Thai people and all participating teams in the AVC Beach Tour 24th Samila Open in particular.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\"
