Description: |

The Phra Pradaeng Songkran Festival
(งานเทศกาลสงกรานต์พระประแดง), formerly known as the ‘Pak Lat
Songkran Festival’, was similar to Songkran celebrated in the
other regions of the country, with the notable addition of a
colourful and elaborate Songkran procession staged by the Mon,
or Raman, residents of Phra Pradaeng. It is also held later than
the rest of the country taking place on the first weekend after
13th April. The highlight of the festival is a grand procession
of floral floats carrying beautiful maidens dressed in a
traditional Mon, or Raman, costume. Each holds a fish bowl in
one hand and a bird cage in the other. Other maidens,
accompanied by men dressed in traditional Raman costume of
sarong and round-necked shirt and sash (the costume is called
“choot loy chai”), walk in front of the ‘Songkran beauty queen’ |
