Water Battle of Songkran Festival, Thailand
This is when the Water War begins. After water guns are filled to the top, by-standers would be sprayed ay anytime and anywhere on the streets and even at the lobby of your hotels. And Beware! Ice Cold Water that comes from plastic bowls and water guns!
The Thais have a tradition of wetting perfumed powder to mark the side of your cheeks with. It represents Good Luck for the New Year! Getting Wet on the New Year represents Cleansing and Blessing too.

Water Festival, Thailand’s New Year
Water Festival or Thailand’s New Year (Songkran) normally falls on April 12th and this celebration is held for about a week, all over Thailand. I had the rare opportunity to attend this festival this year and it has been FUN, Fun, fun as usual. This event was held at Hat Yai, a town located south of Thailand.
Buckets and perfumed powder are sold on the streets, before the Water Festival begins on that morning.
 Drums of water are placed along the streets for refills, into water guns.
If you noticed, water gun holders are all ADULTS! Where were the kids?
