Video of Thailand Streets Going Wild For Songkran

Video of Thailand Streets Going Wild For Songkran

Well, it,s well on the way here in Thailand and the water is being pumped out and splashed in 1000 s of litres an hour.

Water-spraying elephants, raves and boisterous, street-blocking water fights — Thailand’s Buddhist new year arrived with a splash Saturday, a once calm festival now celebrated with a more raucous edge.

Paying respects to elders and sprinkling water over figures of Buddha at local temples are some of the traditions of the three-day new year celebration — known as Songkran — but the holiday also has a rowdier side involving alcohol-fuelled revelry among its youth.

Thais and foreigners sporting floral shirts arm themselves with colourful water pistols and protective goggles, engaging in water fights that bring entire streets to a standstill.

Pattaya is one of the  only cities that it will be a week-long event,

Enjoy and respect.
