Preapring for Songkran

Weapons for the upcoming water festival in Chiangmai


Well, tomorrow or the next or the next day is Thai New Year, my third new year since Christmas 2009. I am glad birthdays do not come as frequently! In preparation we purchased serious looking water guns. The most famous characteristic of this 4 day festival is throwing water on any and everybody. Today, even before the celebration starts, I was soaking wet by the time I got back to my hotel this afternoon. I think it could get very old after a day or so.

There is a Buddhist component which I will tell about later.
