Songkran

Songkran is Thai New Year. It is a mad festival where people throw water at each other. We went to play Songkran in Surin. Everyone got very wet. Paa even threw water over the police. I also saw monks getting water thrown over them. It lasts three days in most places and about nine days in Pattaya. It sounds great but goes on too long. We went back to Pattaya on the last day of Songkran there and it took three hours to go a few miles, which is tiresome when you have washed your truck and travelled 5 hours and 450kms.
