In the heart of Thailand, amidst the hustle and bustle of professional life, ManpowerGroup Thailand recently took a momentous pause to honor and celebrate the cherished tradition of Songkran. This year, our office was imbued with the spirit of this beautiful festival, known for its profound cultural significance and joyous celebrations. It was a day when the air was filled not just with the anticipation of the coming year but also with the fragrance of scented water and the sweetness of Thai delicacies.

A Tradition Honored

Songkran, Thailand's most famous festival, marks the beginning of the Thai New Year. It is a time for renewal, cleansing, and expressing gratitude. Keeping this tradition alive within our corporate walls, we organized a special session that brought our staff together in a heartfelt celebration of culture and community.

The highlight of our celebration was the ceremonial sprinkling of scented water on the Buddha statues. This act is a symbol of purification and prosperity, inviting good luck for the year ahead. In addition, our team members had the opportunity to pour scented water over the hands of our revered elders, a gesture of respect and a way to seek their blessings. These rituals remind us of the importance of gratitude, humility, and the value of blessings in our lives.
