songkran Thai New Year

Thai New Year the biggest water fight on this side of the galaxy .
4 days worth.
This holiday tradition is to pour water on someone, it is a blessing too them and yourself (the white power put on your checks has the same meaning). The great things about Songkrm is Bangkok is quiet for the 4 days.
Like NYC in the summer when everyone leaves for the beach .
But it is alive with some street closed for the fun .
Music ,DJ ,dancing . and food of course .
Its summer here and with the hi in the 98 range a water festival great way to cool off .
