Mar 30, 2026 | Travel

Dusit Hotels and Resorts presents a curated selection of stays, from vibrant city celebrations to relaxed beachfront retreats.

As Songkran approaches, Dusit Hotels and Resorts is inviting travellers to celebrate the season through a curated selection of stays across the country.

From lively city celebrations to unhurried coastal escapes, destinations across Thailand continue to draw travellers seeking a balance between festive energy and time to unwind. Within this context, Dusit’s properties offer distinct settings for experiencing the Thai New Year – whether through immersion in the celebrations or more relaxed, reflective stays.

In Bangkok, the reimagined flagship Dusit Thani Bangkok, a one Michelin Key hotel, provides a refined base for experiencing the energy of Songkran while maintaining a sense of calm above the city. Located near Silom, one of the capital’s most active festival areas, the hotel combines immediate access to celebrations with elevated comfort overlooking Lumpini Park. 

A limited-time Songkran Escape in Bangkok package features a two-night stay with daily breakfast, a one-time Thai set dinner at Pavilion, and curated festive experiences, including access to the Songkran Feast in the Park event at Suan Dusit Arun Roof Park (13–14 April). Additional privileges include a Porsche transfer, cocktails at 1970 Bar, and a Songkran-themed welcome set.

Along the Gulf of Thailand, Dusit Thani Hua Hin presents a more relaxed interpretation of the season. Set within expansive beachfront grounds, the resort offers an environment well suited to longer stays and multi-generational travel. Seasonal programming includes traditional Thai dining experiences, open-air celebrations, and wellness-focused activities, alongside extended-stay options.  

For a livelier seaside setting, Dusit Thani Pattaya combines direct beachfront access with proximity to Pattaya’s key attractions. The property offers a dynamic mix of relaxation and activity, supported by a range of seasonal offers and additional privileges for direct bookings.

Across Thailand, Songkran remains a time centred on connection, bringing together families, friends, and communities. Through its distinctive Thai-inspired gracious hospitality, Dusit Hotels and Resorts continues to reflect this spirit by offering environments that support both celebration and relaxation, rooted in local culture and meaningful guest experiences.
