Songkran 2009


The Thai new year festival of Songkran as begun in earnest. The ceremony revolves around water and basically if you step foot outside your house you'll get a bucket of water thrown at you.

I'm a bit of a stick in the mud, it pisses me off when a complete stranger throws a gallon of water over you, even though you didn't ask for it and are fully clothed! "Cheers" Now all my clothes and wallet are wet through.

The amount of alcohol consumed nearly matches the amount of water thrown and the death count on the road is shocking, i'll report the butchers bill for road deaths later.

I guess at the end of the day its all a bit of fun, but this time next week when water is still being thrown at you!!!!!
