This year I will miss the water festival of Songkran. Thank god for that!
It is a Thai water festival celebrating the time of aquarius in the sky, some call it Thai New Year. Basically it is a four day drunken binge with million's of litre of water being thrown about.
You walk down any street and you will have water and white clay throen at you, no amount of pleading will save you from a soaking. Good fun at first, but then it gets very, very boring.
Being as Thai's think its a slur on their manhood to drive sober, the number of road deaths over this weekend is staggering. Last year the boys in brown were chuffed only 2000 died in the carnage.
So happy Songkran to all the people I know in Thailand, and don't get to wet.
