Josiah on Songkran Festival Day - He was so excited that he got to shoot his water guns at people and they didn't care. Songkran is basically a city wide water fight - where people line the streets with massive water guns and buckets full of water ready to douse anyone they can. Songkran is very dangerous in some parts of Thailand but we found that Hat Yai was nothing but fun!!! Most everyone was considerate and careful - except for some of the people with ICE in their water. We made tons of water balloons - filled up our water guns and off we went in our car. It was so much fun because they don't pay that much attention to the cars on Songkran - it's mostly the motorbikes and people in trucks that they get...so when a car full of farangs (westerners) pulls up and they get hit unexpectantly with water they are shocked and start laughing hysterically as we hurridly roll up our window to escape their revenge. We had a wonderful time and gave a lot of Thai people a good hard belly laugh... :)
