Where to Stay for Songkran 2026: Dusit’s Best Hotel Packages in Bangkok, Hua Hin and Pattaya
Songkran, Thailand’s beloved New Year celebration, officially runs from 13 to 15 April each year—though festivities typically carry on through the weekend, giving travellers even more reason to plan an extended stay. Known for its iconic water fights, temple visits, and joyful street festivities, Songkran is a cultural highlight that draws visitors from around the world. For 2026, Dusit Hotels and Resorts is offering a curated selection of stays that let you experience the festival your way, whether that means immersing yourself in the celebrations or retreating to a quieter corner of the country.

For those who want to be where the action is, Dusit Thani Bangkok is hard to beat. The reimagined flagship property which holds one Michelin Key sits near Silom, one of Bangkok’s liveliest Songkran hotspots, while offering panoramic views over the greenery of Lumpini Park.
The hotel’s limited-time Songkran Escape in Bangkok package includes a two-night stay with daily breakfast, a Thai set dinner at Pavilion restaurant, and access to the Songkran Feast in the Park event at Suan Dusit Arun Roof Park on 13–14 April. Guests also enjoy a Porsche transfer, cocktails at the hotel’s 1970 Bar, and a Songkran-themed welcome set.
A Slower Pace in Hua Hin
If you prefer a more laid-back atmosphere, Dusit Thani Hua Hin offers a seaside escape along the Gulf of Thailand. Set within sprawling beachfront grounds, the resort is ideal for families and multi-generational groups, with seasonal programming that includes traditional Thai dining, open-air celebrations, and wellness activities.
Beachfront Fun in Pattaya
For travellers who want both beachside relaxation and easy access to nightlife and attractions, Dusit Thani Pattaya strikes a lively balance.
A limited-time Breakfast On Us offer bundles complimentary daily breakfast with your stay, available for bookings made by 19 April 2026. Dusit Gold members can save up to 25% on stays booked by 31 May 2026, and guests who book directly through dusit.com receive a THB 500 hotel credit per stay.
Beyond the playful water splashing, Songkran is a deeply meaningful festival rooted in family, gratitude, and renewal. It’s a chance to witness Thailand at its most spirited—temples adorned with flowers and entire neighbourhoods coming alive with music and street food. Whether you choose the urban energy of Bangkok, the coastal calm of Hua Hin, or the beachfront buzz of Pattaya, Dusit’s properties provide a gracious home base steeped in authentic Thai hospitality.
