Worlds Largest Water fight

Thousands of buckets of water, squirt guns of every genre, and kids with their painted red hands line the streets in celebration of the Songkran Festival. Each morning became a game between my mom and I to see who could stay dry longer while we playfully mazed our way through the gauntlet. They say when you can’t beat them, join em! My monkey backpack was filled with water and tube fed my gun while I sneakily drenched unsuspecting people. Of course everyone expected to get wet, but you never knew who would get you next. Adults, children, grandparents, locals and foreigners were all equals as we waged water wars and cleansed one another in celebration of the Lao & Thai New Years.
