songkran | april 11-15

songkran thai tasting menu

central to thailand’s new year celebration is a ceremonial cleansing with water, washing away the bad luck from the previous year and moving on to a fresh new year. in thai streets and parks, the holiday is an epic douse-fest, with revelers super soaking each other with everything from squirt guns to fire hoses to fully loaded elephants.

the festivities at soba may involve some songkran appropriate water combat, so colorfast clothing and a sense of humor are recommended.
