Songkran!
Oh my god, I think I found THE most fun holiday in the world. It’s Thai New Year, which is also called Songkran, I think. Pretty much the next like 3 or 5 days is a huge national waterfight thing… we happen to be here for it and boy did we take part today!
We met a couple of Americans, Tyler and Abdi, and we hit the town today. Good thing my camera is waterproof because there wasn’t a dry spot on me by the time we finished today. People pack into their trucks with big tubs of water and do drive-by hose downs too! I can’t even describe how fun it was… we bought waterguns and buckets and the like. They also put this talcum stuff all over your face and all over cars and stuff…
In a way, it feels like we aren’t seeing any cultural stuff because we are in a waterfight all day but I guess we are actually taking in the culture! I’m going to attach some pics since I can’t really put into words how fun it was today… and yes, that is all we did today… haha
Anyway, here are some pics of Songkran and a couple of the Tiger Temple too!
