不只是潑水節:從泰國到蘇格蘭的宋干新年故事

泰國潑水節(Songkran)是每年四月最重要的傳統節日,也被視為泰國的農曆新年。除了大家熟悉的街頭潑水活動,它其實還包含著洗淨、感恩與祝福的文化核心。在這篇文章,我想分享我眼中的宋干節——那些從小在泰國過節的片段,如何在多年後,於異地蘇格蘭的春日中悄悄浮現。

「對許多人來說,泰國潑水節代表著街頭的潑水狂歡與熱鬧氣氛。但我在蘇格蘭度過的泰國新年,卻是另一種體驗 —— 安靜、充滿意義,並深深紮根於傳統儀式之中。」

🇹🇭泰國潑水節

泰國潑水節(Songkran)是每年四月最重要的傳統節日,也被視為泰國的農曆新年。除了大家熟悉的街頭潑水活動,它其實還包含著洗淨、感恩與祝福的文化核心。在這篇文章,我想分享我眼中的宋干節——那些從小在泰國過節的片段,如何在多年後,於異地蘇格蘭的春日中悄悄浮現。


宋干節不只是潑水

🌸 另一種宋干節

很多人一想到宋干節(Songkran),腦海中浮現的是街上互相潑水、音樂四起、穿著花襯衫的歡樂場面。但其實,在泰國傳統文化中,宋干節更是一個充滿儀式感與家庭連結的節日。

幾年前,我第一次在愛丁堡過泰國新年。那也是我人生中第一次在異地過節,儘管天氣寒冷,卻讓我更靠近這個節日的內在精神。

由於當時氣溫接近零度,自然沒有潑水活動。我和當地的泰國朋友聚在一起,分享家鄉菜、誦經祈福,並以花香水為佛像沐浴。熟悉的香氣與儀式,讓我彷彿回到了和家人一起過節的時光。


🌼 第一天:浴佛與獻花

每年 4 月 13 日是宋干節的第一天,泰語稱為「浴佛日(Wan Sangkhan Long)」。當天一早,泰國人會先淨身,然後帶著鮮花和香水到寺廟拜佛。

人們會以鮮花獻佛,再用花香水輕輕淋在佛像上,象徵洗淨過去一年的煩惱與厄運。家中若有長輩,也會進行「潑水儀式」,由長輩倒水給晚輩祝福,是極為重要的家庭傳統。


👣 第二天:敬水感恩日

宋干節的第二天也被稱為「家庭日」。孩子們會再次沐浴,準備好銀盆盛裝花水,跪在父母面前為其洗手或洗腳,以表達感謝與懺悔。

這種溫柔又帶著敬意的儀式,不只是形式,更是一次家庭情感的交流,是提醒自己謙遜與感恩的美好傳統。


🛕 第三天:堆沙塔與寺廟之行

第三天,家家戶戶會開車到不同寺廟朝拜。男性會帶著插有五彩旗幟的小捐獻包,女性則會帶沙子到寺廟庭院堆成「沙塔」,象徵將過去一年踩走的沙土歸還給寺廟。

女孩子還會用花瓣和彩紙裝飾沙塔,讓整個儀式既莊嚴又富有童趣與創意,是一場延續數百年的傳統遊戲與文化美學。


💧 水的意義

對外國人來說,潑水也許是最具代表性的畫面;但在東南亞文化中,「水」代表著清淨、原諒與祝福。

無論是倒在佛像上、家人身上,或是自我淨化的儀式,潑水背後其實是一種祈願 —— 把過去的煩憂洗去,以嶄新的姿態迎接新的一年。


❄️ 愛丁堡的宋干節|寒風中的溫暖心意

那年在愛丁堡過的宋干節,雖然沒有陽光與潑水,卻有滿室茉莉香與熟悉的誦經聲。我和一群泰國朋友圍坐一堂,分享家鄉味道,安靜地為佛像潑水祈福。

即使窗外下著雪,那一刻的溫暖是真實的。離鄉背井,卻不曾離開這份傳統。

🎋 每年宋干節,我都會用一束花香、一份靜心,記得當年那些潑水與祈福的日子。即使不在泰國,心中那份對家鄉節日的敬意,從未淡去。你今年也會怎樣迎接自己的新年祝福呢?

A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋 seaweed men A little spicy surprise at the end. 😋

seaweed mentaiko tamagoyaki @smoked_tamago 

The first bite was all about the silky egg and delicate aroma of seaweed. Soft, comforting, and beautifully balanced.

Just when I thought the story had ended, the mentaiko quietly made its appearance — bringing a gentle burst of umami and a hint of spice.

It didn’t steal the spotlight from the egg.

Instead, it completed the whole experience.

Simple ingredients often reveal the most skill.

No wonder this tamagoyaki was crowned Scotland’s Street Food Champion 2025 🏆

Even my Japanese friend approved. 😋

Some dishes don’t need to be complicated.

So proud of you, Hongkonger😊

They just need to do the simple things exceptionally well.
George Michael taught me the importance of being t George Michael taught me the importance of being true to yourself and listening to your own heart.

Growing up in Hong Kong, while many children around me were listening to Cantopop, an eight-year-old girl was already humming Careless Whisper. I would spend my pocket money on cassette tapes and read the lyric sheets over and over again, looking up words in the dictionary. My dream was simple: one day, I wanted to meet him.

Decades later, that little girl is now living in the UK. Life has taken me further than I could ever have imagined, yet sadly I never got the chance to meet him.

Perhaps that is George Michael’s greatest legacy for me. His music crossed cultures, languages and generations, and accompanied me through different chapters of my life. He showed me that following your own path is not always the easiest choice, but it is the most honest one. #georgemichael #lastchristmas #tonightthemusicseemssoloud

The lovely owners packed everything separately — broth and toppings apart, while the tofu puffs were left soaking in the soup to absorb all that delicious flavour.

Takeaway dishes can sometimes lose a little magic, but so much thought has gone into the details here that it still scored top marks at home.

Even my notoriously picky husband couldn’t stop praising the pork belly and the rich, comforting broth 😍

And for those who don’t eat meat, there are vegetarian options too 🌱

@malay_laksa Edinburgh’s laksa champion, without a doubt. Thank you for bringing such wonderful food to our city 💕
