Thingyan Festival in Myanmar!
Also known as water festival and this is such a very rich cultural event started by the king of Bagan dated back to 11th Century. At one summer time, the king and queens went to the Ayerwaddy River and played water splashing to each other. From that time on, we; Myanmar people embraced this beautiful and fun festival until today every year in the summer time. That makes senses as a tropical weather having country, we need to cool down from the summer heat, some get away to the beaches, some to the mountain like Kalaw city, Pyin Oo Lwin and others cooler stations to avoid from the heat. Most of us remained in the big cities and celebrated this fun festival!!
Welcome 🙏 all of you around the world to come and join this great fun and happy moment to celebrate our Thingyan Festival and Myanmar New Year which falls on the 17th April 2026, this year.
