Songkran is fun, but preparation is key especially when bringing kids along. Save this checklist to avoid regrets later!

• Protect skin and health
  Apply SPF 50+ sunscreen on your child before leaving home and reapply every 2 hours, as the Songkran sun can be very strong. Don’t forget hats and sunglasses for extra protection.
• Prepare clothing and essentials
  Bring at least 1-2 extra outfits, waterproof bags for wet clothes, and non-slip sandals to prevent slipping on wet surfaces.
• Choose age-appropriate water guns
  For young children, choose low-pressure water guns. Avoid high-pressure ones as they may startle or injure kids, and do not spray directly at the face.
• Choose the right location
  Select Songkran events with clearly designated alcohol-free zones, clean chlorinated water, and on-site safety staff. Avoid crowded areas or places where children could easily get lost.
• Prepare medicine and necessities
  Carry allergy medicine, children’s pain relievers, and wet wipes. If your child has any medical conditions or allergies, don’t forget to bring their regular medication.
• Plan the timing
  The best time for kids to play water is between 2:00 PM - 5:00 PM when the sun is less intense and the weather is not too hot, allowing kids to enjoy longer without getting exhausted.
• Set a meeting point and safe zone
  Agree on a meeting point in advance and take a photo of your child’s outfit on your phone. In case they get lost, you can quickly provide details to staff.
