Seven legendary daughters of Thao Kabinlaphrom are associated with Songkran.
In the Songkran legend, the daughters are known collectively as the Nang Songkran. Each daughter is linked with a weekday and is traditionally represented with particular clothing, objects, and an animal mount. The daughter associated with a given Songkran New Year day is selected according to the weekday on which the solar transition occurs.
The story forms part of the mythological layer of the festival and is separate from the historical development of Thailand’s public holiday calendar. Different retellings may vary in spelling and artistic details, but the number of daughters is consistently seven.
The legend’s weekday structure helps explain why images of Nang Songkran appear in calendars, parades, and cultural presentations. It should not be mistaken for a list of historical queens or official government figures.
