Chiang Mai is about the best place in Thailand to celebrate the Thai New Year. The celebrations are concentrated at Tha Pae Gate but spread over the entire city. Activities include religious merit-making, parades, beauty contests, dancing and, the good-natured water-throwing that marks this festival. However, there is little of the aggressiveness and impoliteness here that sometimes jade the celebrations in Bangkok. Some people might even ask your permission before they splash water on you. The enthusiasm and vigor of the event make for an experience you will not forget.
