Each spring the people of Thailand mark the beginning of the New Year by celebrating Songkran, an elaborate tradition named for the Sanskrit word meaning “passing” or “approaching.” To fête the occasion, we’ve enlisted a dynamic group of Thai talent to collaborate on a festive menu, which will be paired with modern cocktails.
