At Khao San road.. incredible atmosphere of water pouring & smearing of white paste on everyone's faces. Along the roads, children & adults lay in wait at street corners, whenever cars or tuk-tuks passed, they would shower the passengers with pails of water or simply hose them down.

We fought bravely with our water guns, defended each other while topping up our water reserves & launched secret attacks on people who looked dry haha! Sometimes we continued talking even as people emptied water over our heads. Everyone was laughing, dancing and wet. I whipped out my phone a few times to take pictures while my friends shook their heads. "Tempting fate."

Smearing white paste on a person's face is for protection & wards off evil. However, it's all done in good fun & whenever someone put their hands on my already very white face, it was always gentle & never violent or forceful.

Survivors! Ahhh I dont want to go back to work. Want to relive the carefree moments of being wet & dirty during Songkran, the only thought on my mind being that next year, my gun will be huge with 4 nozzles & my water reserves limitless :P
