Although
Songkran officially starts on the 13th April, some people like to get
the festivities off to an early start. After all, four days isn't usually
enough time for a water fight. The pictures on the following pages were
taken while I was having a break from the fun. I went around in a car
for a couple of hours to try and give you a feeling of what it is like
on the streets. All of these pictures were taken in Paknam in Samut
Prakan. Most provinces would be the same as this.

| Traffic
Control. During Songkran, the mob is in control of the roads and
if you are on a motorbike and they ask you to slow down then you'd
better do what they say. |

This
way please, slow down so that we can throw water on you! No,
there isn't any ice in the buckets!

That
was fun wasn't it?
|
 |
| Motorcyclists
are prime targets as they don't have any guns to fire back with.
The two girls on the back of this bike have their faces smeared
with white powder. |
 |
| Two
pick-up trucks passing each other slow down to fire all guns at
the enemy. |
 |
|
A
bunch of very wet girls having fun!
