Chiang Mai, Songkran

Songkran Festival, April 12-15, is the traditional Thai New Year. This is the time for Thais to pay homage to Buddha images, clean their houses, and sprinkle water on their elders in a show of respect. Anyone who ventures out on the streets is likely to get a thorough dousing of water, all in good fun, but also quite welcome at the peak of the hot season. You may also wish to take a look at:

Excellent gallery. I was there for Songkran this year... so I know you must be very quick to have kept your camera from getting soaked.
