Songkarn Festival in Thailand

Songkarn Festival
Of all the feasts and festivals in Thailand, which are many, the
Songkarn Festival is the most striking, for it is widely observed not
only in this country but also in Burma, Cambodia and the Lao State.

Songkarn is a Sanskrit word in Thai form which means the entry of the
sun into any sign of the Zodiac. But the Songkarn in this particular
instance is when the sun enters the sign of Aries or the Ram. Its full
name is Maha Songkarn or Major Songkarn to distinguish it from the
other ones. But the people call it simply the Songkarn for it is the
only one they know and in which they take interest. It is their
traditional New Year when they can enjoy their holidays to the full
with no economic hindrance.

Well, I would be concerned about the trustworthiness of a website which
isn't capable of writing the name of the festival correctly. Thinking of
this, I'd change the last sentence to

"for more information please visit www.google.com"

Further, Songkran is the name of the Goddess/Angel who according to
Thai myth provides water (if she's treated properly).
