Every April 13-15, all of Thailand is drenched in water for Songkran (Thai New Year Water Festival). Chiang Mai's Songkran is said to be the most intense in Thailand.

Organized by episode.0, a small travel agency run by HATAGO staff Arlee, this original Songkran tour lets you celebrate alongside local Chiang Mai people.
