Throughout the country, Thai people will celebrate the festival by visiting their elders, making merits, and of course, water splashing. However, Songkran is not only a time for laughter and entertainment, religious ceremonies and rituals are also held during the auspicious time. Dum Hua ceremony is a time for blessing, apologizing, and forgiving when young people will pour scented water into their elders’ palms and give them beautiful wreath of flowers as a mean to pay respect and gratitude.
