Samujana, Koh Samui’s boutique luxury villa estate, is extending 2016 Songkran festivities with the first ever ‘Songkran Eve’ party. Making it a two-day event, the celebrations will involve a refined and relaxing Thai dinner before an energetic Songkran water-throwing party the following day.
Positioned on the island’s most sought-after hilltop location, a cocktail reception in one of Samujana’s spectacular villas will begin at sundown on Songkran Eve, 12 April 2016. Guests will be welcomed with Tom Yum Martinis before being shown to their dining tables at an elegant pop-up Thai restaurant for an evening of entertainment.
Diners will experience a true authentic evening against a backdrop of Thai entertainment. Appetizers of soft shell crab and mango salad, spicy pomelo salad and fiery Tom Yum Khung will accompany live music performances. Traditional Thai dancers will then take to the stage as guests enjoy their main courses of massaman beef curry, panning red duck curry, wok fried clams and steamed chilli red snapper, and a mesmerizing fire fan ballet finalé will end the evening as guests indulge in desserts of mango sticky rice, coconut ice cream and fresh exotic tropical fruit.
Songkran celebrations are said to be the grandest in Thailand; a mix of tradition and fun recognised globally for the annual water fight it brings to the nation’s streets – and at Samujana it is no different. The following morning at the luxury villa estate, Songkran will begin at 11:30am as a Thai long drum parade will lead guests from their villas down to the Big Lawn, where they will be welcomed with flower garlands and a traditional Buddha blessing ceremony. All guests will be armed with water pistols and the lawn will erupt into a playground for adults and children alike. Water balloon fights, water slides, games, food, music and even the Samujana circus school will ensure everyone is completely soaked, with a shaded ‘no water’ zone with cushions and picnic rugs to relax before the next round of splashing.
The Samujana celebrations will run until 4pm and guests can then be driven to Chaweng to continue with the island’s festivities.
