 If
you ask me what is the best time to be in Thailand, I would say
during Songkran Festival. As a kid, we all look forward to this
long holiday where we get to splash water at each other, and strangers
alike.
April
13 to 16, is Thai's
traditional new year,
hot summer days, a perfect time to cool-off. Alot of kids don't really
know whats the background tradition behind the water fight, so we won't
spoil the mystery, and let you search for it elsewhere.(Maybe it's because
I simply don't know it myself ;-) What alot folks care about is the
fun, smile and laughter that pour down with the bucket of water all across
the country.
On these days, it seems like everyone is a friend of everyone else, and
the country is one big happy party town. This web presentation is doing
just that, capturing the FUN
of this infamous Thai Newyear Festival (focusing on the water fight of
course !).
If
you are here for water fight, there are two place to be, in the back
of a pickup truck, or on the side of the street. |

Pickup
Truck, the ultimate water fight vehicle.Seems like everyone knows
each other..wanna join them and hop on the truck? Its all for the
fun of it. |
Get
it on..Sing, dance, throw water, wave, party on |
There
is no such a thing as generation gab on this day.
|
.If you are wondering what is the white color stuff, that's like talcum
powder.. mix it with wather, some mixed with scented parfume. You
can mmix in a bucket or put on your palm and rub it on each other's
face |
Splash water where ever they go.

|
Everyone
gets wet anyway. If you want to hop on one of these, just ask!.
You'll b surprise how friendly people are!
