Happy Thai New Year! 🇹🇭💦 Today marks the final day of Songkran, a vibrant week-long water festival celebrated in Thailand and other parts of Southeast Asia.
🔫Fun fact: Songkran is famous for its exuberant public water fights!! Locals & tourists alike take to the streets with all forms of water buckets, waterguns, hoses, even elephants🐘 (pictured below!)
A symbolism for cleansing of water. Water is sprinkled on Buddha statues and on people to wash away impurities and bad luck, preparing for a fresh start and prosperity in the New Year🌸
