Songhran Burst Out Today in Chiang Mai!

Today at about one o'clock in the afternoon, suddenly Songkhran burst out here right in front of my guest house.  The guest house had put out barrels of water and small buckets for the occasion.  Everybody who passed by got a drenching.  But before that, the guests thoroughly drenched one another!  I had dressed for the occasion:  a tee shirt, bathing suit, and shower clogs.  But still, when someone comes up to you and dumps a bucket of iced water on you, you are anything but prepared!

The festivities will continue until Monday, they say.  I'll try to get some photos for you; however, it's a little tricky since no one wants to get their camera drenched in water.  More tomorrow!
