The average temperature in Thailand since we arrived is a smokin 37 degrees centigrade.
Luckily for us, we arrived just before one of the
biggest water fights I have ever been in.
Songkran is a celebration of the Thai New Year lasting three full days from April 13-15.
People roam the streets throwing water on eachother in belief that the new year would bring good luck and prosperity.
The water is symbolic in "washing the 'bad' away.
We couldn't go outside without getting wet.
So, we went out armed with water guns and buckets and had so much fun!
Sarah and Cass... armed and ready.
Sadly, the countrywide death toll during the celebration was about 285 and almost 2,800 casualties.
One of our favourite spots was at a small pool outside a big hotel... endless water supply!
Water guns for sale everywhere.
A group of Thai's getting hit with water while riding a tuc tuc.
A tuc tuc getting sprayed while riding down the 'bar' street in the red light district, Chaingmai.
A neighbour boy getting ready to spray Sarah and Cass as they walk by.
Some foreigners getting really into it. Check out those goggles!
