The Thingyan Festival is one of the trademarks of Myanmar. We, the Burmese people, celebrate the Thingyan festival every year. Thingyan is also meant to be the washing out of the specks of dirt in and out of the mind and body. Despite the fact that the Thingyan festival lasts only four days, the government has declared it a national holiday.
Although most people will celebrate the Thingyan festival by splashing water with each other, some people spend those days at home. So I want to show you the best ways to spend your Thingyan holidays at home.
Here are seven ideas for how to spend your Thingyan holidays at home.
Create family time
We are all humans who don’t have enough time to take care of our families. So give some of your time to your family during the Thingyan holidays. Watching movies together with family, talking about your daily work life, and opening up about your struggles are ways of taking care of your family. So, during the Thingyan holidays, let us give them more time and create more love.
Make Thingyan snacks and share them with your neighbor
Thingyan snacks are also taking part in the Thingyan festival. So make some Thingyan snacks and share them with your neighbor. Mont Lone Yay Paw, Kyauk Kyaw, and Shwe Yin Aye are the best snacks that match the Thingyan festival. Communication is an essential thing in our lives. So if you feel you are not keeping in touch with your neighbor, just make Thingyan snacks and share them with your neighbor.
Find out what your hobby is and try to do it
Those 10 days of the Thingyan holidays are the best time to search for your hobby. So try something that you want to do. If your ambition is to be a guitarist, learn how to play the guitar. If you want to be a writer, try writing a Thingyan love story that you have experienced. If you want to be a painting artist, join the painting class and learn how to paint from the basics. Therefore, if you are a learner, this is the right time for you; just focus on your learning.

Read some books
Reading some interesting books is one of the best ways to spend your Thingyan holidays at home. It doesn’t matter whether books are educational or not. All of the books provide us with information to help us improve our way of life. Educational books will provide you with information about your finances, a better lifestyle, and management. On the other hand, novels can make your relaxation time more enjoyable with a storyline. In my opinion, you should spend the Thingyan holidays with novels that make your time full of good empathy.
Watch movies
Have you ever seen those movies you should watch before the time of your life runs out? So watch those masterpiece movies and feel the art. Some films can elicit profound reflections on life. Some movies can make us feel emotions, while others can make us happy. So watch those movies and spend your time at home.
