What is the Thai name for the seven legendary daughters associated with Songkran?

The Thai name for the seven legendary daughters associated with Songkran is Nang Songkran.

Nang Songkran literally refers to the Songkran ladies or daughters. In the traditional legend, seven daughters of Thao Kabinlaphrom take turns carrying or accompanying their father’s head after his defeat in a riddle contest. Each daughter is associated with one day of the week.

The daughter whose weekday matches the New Year’s Day is traditionally identified as that year’s Nang Songkran. Festival artwork, parades, and pageants often portray her in elaborate costume, making the legend visible in modern celebrations.

Nang Songkran should not be confused with unrelated Thai female spirits such as Mae Nak or Nang Tani. It is a specific group of figures belonging to the mythology of the Thai New Year.
