Songkran Part 2 "Doing Our Part"

After a great Easter message we decided to checkout the water-fight ourselves. We were a little surprised to say the least.

What we found:

People riding in the back of trucks with ice-water drenching fellow travelers and those along the sides of the road have no mercy either!


Water sprinkler lined bridge. Not so good for those like us on a scooter.


We took up station with our buckets on a street corner (using a water fountain as our source) to douse those driving by.


We found another good location to surprise the scooter crowd. Up the mote a bit we found a fun group using a community barrel to splash those not-so-lucky passer-byers. The whole event was out of this world, all the locals love Songkran and are more than ready to join in and splash anyone within splashing distance, young and old alike. And the crazy thing is that this festival continues for 6 days! If you don't want to get wet, you just don't leave your house!
