Day 2 – Songkran Festival – wow!

Its the second day of Songkran Festival which ends tomorrow.  This post is going to be short because we are exhausted.  Too much Songkran.

Basically what we did is we rode in the back of the truck and threw water at other people on the street, in other trucks, those that were riding on motor scooters too.  This was complete madness, but so much fun!  We went to some of the more congested areas where its car to car, fender to fender and then we walked through the streets putting baby powder on the pretty girls faces.  Just part of there custom.  It was a crazy night.  We took video by putting my cel phone in a water protective bag. I’ll to post some of the videos soon.  I can say there is no way that they would ever let us do this type of thing in Maryland.

We went straight from playing in the water to a really nice karaoke party.  Lots of food, lots of songs, surrounded by family.

Just so you know we were escorted by 2 soldiers and a police officer through the Songkran Festival so we were in good hands.  They kept an eye on me to make sure nothing happened and showed me the ropes.  Thank you for that, I will remember this night forever.

its 11:45 PM on Sunday. Time for bed.
