It is the year 2556! Hurray!
Thais celebrate the new year in style: getting soaked head to foot and plastering gooey flesh-colored paste on people's faces. No one is exempted. Everyone gets wet and gets flesh-colored warpaint on their faces. Whether you are on foot, in a van, in a tuktuk, or just going to 7-Eleven to buy ice.

| You look like you need a cold shower! |

| Your camera won't save you! |
It is extremely crowded so be very mindful of your possessions - even the ones attached to your body (harhar). The crowds are massive. Think of it as EDSA Dos...but with water. Lots of it. Mostly icy.
 |
| The crowd on Thanon Silom corner Thanon Naradiwas - this is the thinnest part, trust me! |
So if you do decide to join the craziness, come prepared. We did!

| Don't mess with the Pinoy Songkran Warriors! |
I skipped today's craziness and went to Nichada Thani for another face-stuffing of Pinoy food.
There's still tomorrow - the last and most bonggaceous day of Songkran.
