Songkran Fun

Getting wet is what Songkran is about. Even the local fire brigade are happy to help out in getting people soaked.

Had to go out and get dinner for the family and even though I avoided the main Songkran Street I ran into a gang ready to plaster me with yogurt and drench me with water.

If you are on a motorbike or bicycle you stand no chance of escaping. There are numerous road blocks to stop you and splatter yogurt or water over you.

We were stuck on this road for 15minutes just to get 100m. The streets are lined with these utes full of people with buckets of iced water and yogurt to throw.

For 3 whole days there was partying on the streets particular on a road near our house. Thai people definitely know how to let their hair down and have fun.

Haha, wow, thats kinda... crazy. Definitely a cultural experience. If only we had enough water back here in Australia to do that kinda thing.
