Songkran

Today we experienced the Thai new year for the first time. Another name for it is Songkran. A little while back they would sprinkle water down your back, but now they’ve turned it into a giant water gun fight. When we first got there we were unarmed but not long after we came across a booth selling water guns. We bought three. We walked the rest of the way down to the moat and when we got there we were welcomed by buckets and buckets of water dumped on our heads. Our puny water guns didn’t help much. Soon we were soaking wet. We got into a tuk tuk that had a trashcan full of water. We were splashing everybody we saw. After an hour we got off and went home, but first we got ice cream and soda.
