Songkran Festival in Thailand is a way of celebrating The Chinese New Year. Basically its a big water fight were anything is allowed as long as it includes water. It runs 4 days and during these days you should buy a water gun and just let go and accept that you will get sprayed the second you walk outside your room. The best places to celebrate is Pattaya, Bangkok and Chiang Mai. People spray from cars, bikes, tuk tuks, busses…

Why go to Songkran: Its simply the greatest party on earth

Best experience: Spraying water at thai police while they just smile

Worst experience: There is nothing bad about Songkran festival

People are just waiting on the streets for people to pass by so they can drown them with water in backets

 At this place they use a water hose from an outlet on the street to spray bypassing busses

Splash!!!

Great pictures of four guys having baby pouder in their faces while drinking beer and smoking

 Car under attack!

Love the way you can tell that everybody on the truck are wet

Getting ready for the streets. Never walk out on the street with an empty gun. Thats a big nono in Thailand around mid April;-)

Its not only water. Also baby pouder is used to mess up poeples faces

Its a chaos in some streets

This girl was just waiting for people to pass so she could spray them with a bucket of water

Others were just driving around in a car looking for troubles 

When walking around taking pictures of people I was a bit nervous to get water in my camera, but what you dont get to get the perfect pictures…
