Many tourists and expats tend to stay indoors and not travel during this period as the country becomes one big commotion of festivities. The prices usually go up, and the services are reduced and limited only to a few destinations.
A bit of history
Earlier, the New Year was celebrated between December and January, but now it has been moved up to April on par with the Hindu New Year.
The first day
The first day is meant for blessings and offerings entirely. The locals make offerings and receive blessings at the local temples.
The second day
The second day is more like a family day where they offer gifts to their family members.
The third day
On the last day, the locals visit the pagodas for blessings and offerings just like the first day.
