Songkran at JW Marriott Phuket Resort & Spa is also about giving back to nature. This past April 13 was an extra special day, as the Songkran celebrations coincided with the 6th Mai Khao Turtle Release of 65 green turtles and the welcoming of “Tommy” the Turtle - who was born in March 2013 without any eyes – to the new Marine Turtle Shelter & Education Center opening in July 2015.
