I survived Songkran '07

Well, this was my first Songkran and it was buckets of fun! Songkran is a celebration of the Thai new year. It involves lots of water throwing. I'm sure at one point, it was something orderly and respectful and now it's developed into an all out water throw-down! Good times were had by all!

Check out this video clip from my first Songkran experience! The quality is pretty shady, but you'll get the idea. The video footage is great quality, however, where we uploaded it, the file size capacity couldn't accommodate the quality that I prefer...so, this'll do. Have fun!

Happy Songkron!

You really did a good job on the video! It seems so much bigger than when we were there- more commercial, more people in town, I'll bet....open air concerts and stuff?!? Mad! I'm glad you had your first Songkron so soon after arriving- what a wonderful cultural experience!

Love Songkron for ME, this year, Wendy!

What is a songkron? Love the pictures and descriptions of food. I'm hungry just from reading. Do you have any contact with Amy and Mike Bowles?
Keep those blogs coming.
Love you and Courtney, Ernestine
