Songkran Phuket 2026: where to play water fights across the island

Phuket is preparing for Songkran Festival 2026 with a packed schedule of water fights, cultural events, and music festivals across the island from April 11 to 15. Locals and visitors can look forward to traditional celebrations in Phuket Old Town, alcohol-free festivities, and headline EDM parties. Here is a guide to the main Songkran events and splash zones for 2026.

The “Mon Rak Songkran” event will take place on April 12, 2026, from 4:00pm to 9:00pm at Charter Walking Street in Phuket Old Town. Participants are encouraged to wear traditional Thai outfits with a retro luk thung theme. The program includes water-pouring ceremonies over Buddha images, sand pagoda building, and paying respects to elders. Attendees can also enjoy ramwong dancing, long-drum performances, and workshops for making scented Thai water and jasmine garlands.
