Central Pattana Has Unveiled Thailand’s Songkran Festival 2023
Central Pattana, Thailand’s largest shopping mall operator, has teamed up with renowned partners to launch Thailand’s Songkran Festival 2023 – Songkran Entertainment, that has the mission to present Songkran as a world-class festival with CentralWorld, and 37 other Central branches nationwide, putting the nation’s festivities on the map on a global scale.
The company would like to encourage both local and international visitors to travel within Thailand by establishing festival landmarks in major cities at its multiple branches all over the kingdom, during the peak season commencing on April 7th and running to April 16th.
It is hoped that festival celebrations will boost spending, and stimulate the Thai economy in the second quarter, by the equivalent of the levels achieved during previous year-end countdown periods. Retaining Thai culture and traditions are key goals of the campaign.
A number of different activities are available at each of the Central locations, to celebrate Songkran in style: the locations pulling in big amounts of tourists, such as Central Phuket, and Central Festival Pattaya, will host music festivals so visitors can enjoy the spectacles.
There is also an emphasis being placed on making Thailand’s Songkran culture last, such as paying respect to Buddha, pouring water on Buddha images, and asking for blessings. Another highlighted activity is Thai dance and exhibitions, to raise awareness of Thai arts and culture in order to promote the Thai identity so that visitors can feel more welcomed.
Delicious foods are a big part of what makes Songkran so special: you can celebrate this year with your family at a myriad of popular local restaurants, under the concept of “Thai Market Entertainment” which will be available at every Central shopping center to enjoy.
Central’s malls have some terrific competitions to take part in, as well as areas to check-in and snap photos to mark Songkran 2023! Some of the branches are organizing Songkran pageants and pop-up outdoor movie screenings, which should be massively entertaining.
Exclusive promotions are also available in every Central branch. Customers who are The 1 members can win top prizes, worth over 1.7 million baht in total: they include a brand-new car, an electric scooter, flight tickets, cash coupons, and many other highly-desired items.
From March 15 to May 15, tourists can enjoy a Tourist Welcome Package worth 3,000 baht, and score a 100 baht Gift Voucher, when spending 3,000 baht. KLOOK customers get an extra 100 baht Gift Voucher, when spending 2,000 baht at 15 participating tourists malls.
