Songkran Festival

The new year in Thailand begins on January 1st, but the traditional Thai New Year is first celebrated in mid-April.
The Songkran Festival, a Buddhist tradition is one of the most extraordinary New Year festivals in the world, people meet in the streets and celebrate with a water battle. For today I searched my archive and found some old nice holiday photos.

During the New Year celebrations, the water in the centre is a synonym for purification and new beginnings.

It is a good idea to use water and not fireworks at the New Year's celebration. There was a lot of water from buckets and water pistols. We also got an ice-cold shower, was very funny, besides eating, drinking they smeared white chalk powderon the face of everyone.

Best wishes, have a nice Day!
