| Water pistol of your choice |
At this time each year, Buddhist countries in this region celebrate their local New Year. I do have to say that this is the only country I have lived in where they celebrate three New Years - 1st January, Chinese New Year and now Songkran which is on 13, 14 and 15 April. Each New Year gets better with the third one being the biggest and best with its being major holiday time and its real sense of Thai fun at play, namely the country becomes the stage for huge water fights. It is water pistols everywhere.
Beware! There is a cost to be paid. You have to be prepared to go colourful and you have to be prepared to get wet as well as wet others. So one is armed at all times with their water pistol for both fun and protection. If you don't like it, there is nothing you can do about it. Just join in or stay at home.
Happy New Year!
