Definitely the craziest festival I’ve ever been to, Songkran is a celebration of the Thai New Year. What started with Buddhist monks blessing people with a splash of water has morphed into an epic 3 day water fight in streets around the country. Armed with water guns and buckets of ice water, complete strangers of all ages team up to drench everyone within reach from sunrise to sunset in what has to be one of the coolest festivals in the world.
