This is an example of one of the trucks absolutely loaded down with people and water that are everywhere during Songkran.
This is what it looks like when one of the roving attack units comes across a fixed attack position. Things get wet.
Snipers are positioned at every crosswalk. He looks innocent enough but given the chance he wouldn't hesitate to hose you down.
Finally, this picture says it all, everybody plays! You can not skirt by and ask for mercy on account of the fact that you are an innocent passer-by. If you go out in public then you are in the game. I think this poor guy probably stayed home after this.

Hey, that sounds fun :) I guess the only time you might have a problem is if you had an important meeting to go to or something.
I am surprised we don't have that tradition in Texas!!
If only you could convince the West Bank to celebrate their differences in this manner. I like the idea!
Laura,
It is probably true that a lot of unsuspecting tourists and businessmen get stuck here during Songkran with no idea what is going on.
The Thais told me that you have two choices during the holiday, you can get wet or you can hibernate.
It is fun. Texas would definitely do well to think about it!
