We get up a bit late today on the first day of Songkran, the Thai New Year. We take as few belongings as possible and put our money and camera in little plastic bags. It’s really hot today, which is great weather for some water fights. Right after we step out of the Reflections, we already get wet from people across the road and also from people with loaded water tanks and water guns driving on their vehicles. We take a cab to Khao San Road, where the crowds go crazy with everyone pouring water on each other or some locals smear clay onto your cheeks as blessings. Once you are out there, there is no way to get dry again..
