Basically, from the 13th – 15th of April each year, the Thais celebrate their new year this is 2554 in Thailand. To celebrate, Thai people used to gently sprinkle water, that had previously ran over a Buddha statue, over their elders. This would symbolically wash the bad away, bring good luck and welcome the new year. Well, the premise is still the same but the gentle pouring of water has been replaced by a mass 3 day water fight in the sun, with plenty of alcohol thrown into the mix for good measure. The result is an entire city smiling from morning until night, lots of blessings, too many hangovers and then an eagerness to do it all again the next day. Now tell me that doesn’t knock the socks off our New Year?!
