Songkran 2026 around Bangkok: where to make merit then get soaked
Komsan Jandamit, Published on 09/04/2026

The Thai New Year’s water fights still dominate the headlines, but this year’s smartest day trips mix temple-time calm with big-city spectacle, from Rattanakosin’s most photogenic blessings to Samut Prakan’s late-April Mon traditions — plus a flagship “Maha Songkran” festival that is setting up shop at Benchakitti Park.

» The subject of the week is robots. The amount of news on these keeps growing and growing. South Korea is first up here with their KAIST Humanoid. In the field test, the robot was shown running across a soccer pitch, jumping, taking shots on goal, and even doing dance moves akin to the Michael Jackson moonwalk. Many robot demonstrations still look a bit stiff but these moves were quite smooth. The robot can run at about 12kph on flat ground with the next goal at 14kph. It can climb a ladder with 40cm steps and the knees can generate 320 Newton metres of peak torque so it can push heavier objects. The current model is based on the lower human half but the goal is for a full humanoid form that can work with people in industrial environments.
