Thais celebrate Songkran Festival

Thais celebrate Songkran Festival

Never thought in the new year with a struggle of water to celebrate? Songkran Thai new year celebrations occur in the height of summer with water plays a central role.
You can read about the history of the Songkran day here but water is supposed to clean up the bad luck. Also is a sign of respect for the children spray water on their elders and a battle of full blown water in a public place is not only a great way to cool off under the scorching sun, but a refreshing way to vacation.
