Songkran! A time for family, food, throwing water on each other, and other kinds of fun! Smile, a few Thai friends have asked if I mind having water tossed on me, but I totally don't. It's water, not acid!
Here are some photos that hopefully illustrate what I did over the holiday. I swear, I feel like I could have had my camera surgically attached to my hand and it would have been helpful I took so many photos!

So that was day 1 of Songkran. In addition to all those activities there was plenty of time to chat and visit with people, which was nice. Loads of k'nomes, a lot of hanging out, just visiting and having a good time. Nice!
I was pretty exhausted by the end of Day 2 (and my eyes were turning red from having water thrown on me! The water isn't always clean, and sometimes it's been dyed a bright pink or green, which is festive, but apparently not healthy for my eyes!). However Day 3, of Songkran was more family fun that I wouldn't have missed for the world. We had another picnic, this time on the river close by our village that runs into Fang. It was a lovely relaxing afternoon, and I got to chat more with Laa, mE and her friend, and anyone else that swam up to our dock!
...Now that everyone's gone home, I'm ready for another vacation!
