Songkran Festival/Thai New Year






Whhhoooaaaa! This day was a blast and a splash!Why?because it's "Songkran"festival,a Thai New Year celebration,where people pour water at each other that no one remains dry. It could be compared to our San Juan festival.To give you a glimpse of my activity today.

Here it is:

Woke up at 10:00 am

Had my breakfast while chitchatting w/ housemates and a friend

Got ready to splash at 11:45

Took a cab to the beach

People we met splash COLD water on us. I was trying to avoid coz I have my period and afraid of creating "red tide" he he he. Anyway, no matter how we tried to stay away from those hyper crowd we still became wet with powder on our faces and reached the beach. At the seashore, we enjoyed our pork,chicken,sticky rice and spicy salad. My companions took a short dip into the sea. After which we looked for a place where we could have our photo sessions...he he he


When we decided to get back home,too bad no available public transportation so we hitched onto one of the pick ups who happens to pass by. While on the way home,the driver made fun of stopping in front of the crowd so they can pour us some water. Well, we screamed for fun but still lucky that we're heading home so that we/I could change immediately.


Hope all could experience it as well. Happy Songkran to all.
