Wow, people throwing water over each other, how exciting is that? I am sure nobody on TV has ever seen it before! Anymore fascinating pictures?

I'll bet you are the life and soul of every party and on everybody's invite list. jap.gif

Maybe they were the majority of the water throwers? And throwing water over open tuktuks as well.

agree Songkran looks fun bur it is not the case everywhere. Come to Pattaya and see if it's fun when someone squirts water out of long blue plastic tubes with enough force to knock you over or off a motorbike.!

By the look of those pics it doesnt seem to be as busy as i remember it.

That's because it wasn't the official Songkran opening day which is today. EXIF data from the photos - Photo taken 2012:04:12 15:53:35 - yesterday. Suspect there is a huge difference today.

I really don't know why so many people go out of their way to criticize everything in Thailand and have the temerity to call it home? Thai people seem to have the canny knack of enjoying themselves even in the face of huge adversity and yet a lot of farang just sit and grumble like 'old gits'. For those in this category, please just do everyone a favour and go back home to their 'perfect' countries.

Thanks for that Caibiao. Admire any photographer who can catch a decent Songkran pic, especially when you risk having your equipment wrecked.

Hope you get some more.

Happy Songkran! :D
