Songkran - 13, 14 &15 April

Mid April sees the celebration of the lunar new year in Thailand. Buddha images are bathed. Monks and elders receive the respect of younger Thais by the sprinkling of water over their hands. And a lot of water is tossed about for fun. Bangkok empties out and businesses shut down as people head home to the provinces. Expect to be soaked wherever you are!
