Celebrate Easter and Songkran with a Luxury Family Getaway at Four Seasons Resorts Thailand

Come April, Thailand revs up the festive spirit in anticipation of the much-awaited Thai New Year – Songkran. Combining this with the Easter holidays, families should look no further than this tropical wonderland for their next get away. With its rich cultural connection with the destination, Four Seasons Resorts Thailand - across Chiang Mai, Koh Samui and the Tented Camp in the Golden Triangle - celebrates Easter and Songkran in true Thai style with diverse relaxation experiences, culinary delights, and enriching activities. “Our calendar of festivities are designed to cater to every family,” says Sean Mosher, General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Chiang Mai and Tented Camp Golden Triangle. “The cascading hillside at Koh Samui brings just the right amount of sunshine to the vacation, even as the rich cultural tapestry at our countryside retreat in Chiang Mai, and an off-the-grid adventure in the bamboo jungles of the Golden Triangle present the perfect family getaway across three diverse destinations!” adds Jasjit Assi, General Manager, Four Seasons Resort Koh Samui.

Luxury Living in Four Seasons Thailand Comfort

Family Connections Over Delectable Dining

At Chiang Mai and Koh Samui, dining takes centre-stage as a key aspect of the Songkran and Easter celebrations. At the Michelin-recommended Khao by Four Seasons in Chiang Mai, The Songkran Dinner on April 13, 2025 and Easter Sunday Lunch on April 20, 2025 brings the very best of culture and tradition to the fore. “From live performances and authentic Thai cuisine to international favourites and even an egg-hunt for the young ones, the restaurant promises a lively celebration for all generations,” shares Anthony Tschudin, Resort Manager. Guests can also enjoy a leisurely afternoon overlooking the lush paddies with a seasonal afternoon tea, this time featuring fresh strawberries. “The cultural significance is amplified in the Golden Triangle,” says Paweena, “We invite you to join the Kanthok Dinner – a family-style sharing experience that showcases the authentic Northern Thai hospitality.” Inspired by the bounty of tropical produce that arrives with the season, a lavish Festa Di Primavera Easter on the Beach will rival the stunning views at Koh Samui. “Expect a delectable BBQ, with sizzling grills and delectable desserts, and frolic for the kids to make this a truly Samui-style celebration,” adds Hannes Schneider, Resort Manager. The Songkran celebrations at the resort begins with a solemn tradition of giving alms, followed by a lively parade and water-splashing fun. In the evening, the Michelin-recommended Koh Thai Kitchen presents its flair with delectable Thai cuisine combined with traditional performances, making for a truly immersive experience.

Festive Fun with Immersive Resort Experiences

Continuing the theme of the water festival, Koh Samui’s private yacht experiences are a highlight, as guests can explore the nearby island on half-day, full-day or even just a sunset cruise. “Our Easter magic continues into the evening with a Movie Night Under the Stars at Quiet Beach,” shares Hannes. Family time extends into the evening where adults and children can enjoy a charming evening in the outdoors. “Hot cocoa, popcorn, and tasty snacks add to the festive spirit and create an idyllic mood to celebrate Easter with loved ones,” he adds. At Chiang Mai’s Chaan Baan, families can experience the rich traditions of Northern Thailand through hands-on activities. During Songkran, guests can participate in Kor Kong Sai, the time-honoured ritual of Sand Pile Making, symbolising renewal and merit-making. “The Tung Sai Moo workshop invites families to create traditional Lanna flags, a decorative emblem of blessings and prosperity,” shares Anthony. “These immersive experiences offer a deeper connection to local heritage, making the celebration even more special.” The Kids For All Seasons program at Samui and Chiang Mai gear up for unlimited fun as children can take part in an exciting Easter game, featuring an egg hunt and creative activities designed to spark joy and imagination. At the Golden Triangle, Songkran takes on a vibrant and playful spirit as the camp team dresses in colourful outfits, parading through the camp in a joyful celebration. “Guests are invited to join in the fun, embracing the tradition of water play and laughter in the heart of the Golden Triangle,” shares Paweena. Easter is also a special occasion at the camp, where guests will be treated to exclusive festive amenities, making the holiday even more memorable in this unique jungle setting.

A Season of Wellness and Rejuvenation

While Songkran and Easter are a time for family reunion and bonding, it is also an opportune moment to spend time in reflection and focus on mindful living. At Wara Cheewa Spa in Chiang Mai, the customised Songkran Serenity experience is inspired by the tradition of purification, beginning with a 60-minute Lymphatic Drainage Massage followed by a 30-minute Rose Floral Bath to enhance overall wellbeing. There’s also something for the entire family with our Family Mindfulness program,” shares Saowapa Thumapun, Director of Spa. “Celebrate renewal and togetherness with a 90-minute private wellness journey, blending gentle yoga and crystal sound bath for relaxation, and inner peace.” Inspired by the wind element, The Secret Garden Spa at Koh Samui promotes Lom Fusion Therapy that includes sum-ya (inhaling medicinal herbs), Chi Nei Tsang massage with warm herbal poultices and a marma point head massage. “The Energy of Lom experience is a must-do, combining a herbal scrub and detox wrap to purify the body with lom-inspired ginger, galangal and lemongrass,” shares Kotchaphan Mekloy, Director of Spa. “This three-hour ritual is followed by a Som-Dul massage for increased flexibility and deep relaxation.” At Four Seasons Tented Camp Golden Triangle, the Ruak Bamboo treatment draws inspiration from bamboo, a symbol of longevity and strength in Asian cultures. “This full-body massage combines the soothing properties of lemongrass with smooth natural bamboo sticks to ease deep-seated muscle tension,” shares Jutatip Sakulpanitcharoen. To further enhance relaxation, the Balance Milky Bath offers a tranquil moment amid the woody-floral aroma of lavender, rosewood and cedarwood, gently releasing emotional stress and restoring balance.
