Songkran - Thai New year and the worlds biggest water fight!

Thai New Year doesn't happen in line (as is with many Thai things) with the rest of the world. It happens in the hottest month of April and with all of the water one can summon. The year is 2560 according to the Thai Calendar, and the country is in desperate need of a cool down.


Everywhere you go, Thais soak you in water, whether you want them to or not.


By hose, bucket, Super Soaker and any means necessary, you're getting soaked.

There's even drive by soakings.


And a fair amount of alcohol. I am fairly certain that this lady was trying to get me to marry her daughter.

This is not that daughter.

This might be. (Don't honestly recall)

And once you're nice and wet, the cover you in paster or powder.



What a journey, to walk down the street and grab a beer.
