Songkran is a celebration of the Thai New Year and the national water festival. This year, I went with friends to Ayutthaya, the old capitol, where thousands and thousands of people ride in the back of trucks, splashing water on each other and on people gathered alongside the road. Great fun!
Micah Silkwood, who is also a member of Pleasant Valley Baptist Church, has come to Bangkok and will work at DST for the next eighteen months. This was his first week here, and he went along with us.
If somene had told me three years ago that I would have a water fight with a group of nine year old Buddhist monks (in training)...
Trucks lined up to head back down the street for more water splashing.
Thaweep, our guide for the day... looking like a wet cat.
