As the Songkran holiday approaches, the staff at Phyathai Hospital in Bangkok felt a little festive and dressed all the newborns up in tiny colorful sarongs and ruffled tops.

Imagine the squeals the brand-new parents let out when their babies were brought to them in cute Songkran-themed outfits.

Of course, this is not the first time Thai hospitals have dressed up babies to match festivals. We’ve seen Santa Claus and Cupid babies before.

How endearing.
