This April was the Thai New Year's celebration called Songkran. The most obvious celebration of Songkran is the throwing of water throughout the city. This is accompanied by putting white paste on the face. The acts of throwing water in the past were subtle, however throughout the years the act has progressed into an all out water fight among participates. This year I spent the new year playing on Sukhumvit Road in Bangkok. The celebration is celebrated throughout the Kingdom and even more in Isan.
