Squeeze in some merit-making at the Bangkok Songkran Festival (Apr 9-17), where you can usher in the new year with some blessings at Wat Phra Kaeo, Wat Pho and eight more temples You can get a passport at the temples and a stamp for each visit. Complete all temples and reach nirvana in the after-life. Maybe. For more details, visit http://songkran.tourismthailand.org.
