Songkran Songkran

People from Thailand celebrate their traditional new year with some of the biggest waterfights in the world. Everyone is fair game and for 3-5 days you cannot go out onto the streets without getting wet.


I shot this video on the streets in Samut Prakan. I was obviously in the car at the time otherwise my camera wouldn't have survived. It took me just over two hours to drive down this road. Normally it would take only 10 minutes.

You can read more about this festival over at our sister site thaifestivalblogs.
