Thai happy New Year Songkran
|
Despite nationwide restrictions many Thais could not be stopped to celebrate and to start the water fights on the Pickup. At some of the Pickups, the loading area was filled with 1000 liters of water and laughing children and adults, and buckets. The people on the loding area overturn the water buckets on other cars and people. Especially popular is, when the water is cooled by ice cubes below 10 degrees Celsius ... Because then you can see a shocking-frosted face of the victim, which stimulates the general cheerfulness! |
Besides playing with the water it is tradition that Thais put white or coloured powder in your face. The disadvantage is, when you get soaked, then the powder is rinsing deeper and deeper and later you find it everywhere and in every body opening! |

The best location for Songkran in Cha-Am is the beach road. Here every year the traditional carnival parade takes place. Now everybody is armed with minimum one water gun... |
|
Water fighting makes hungry! In the beach road you find a lot of food stalls, who were selling fresh chicken or fish. |

The Songkran festival 2013 in Cha-Am was a very peaceful event. When we remember at last year, we saw already at midday many drunken young Thai people on motor bikes. But this year everything was more civilized, more nice. |
