Songkran is celebrated in Thailand as a New Year's in coomomerate with the celebration of the Buddhist/Hindu solar calendar. This year has named Chiang Mai the most anticipated place to be for tourists to enjoy the celebration. According to the Bangkok Post, Chiang Mai is one of the top popular destination to be and luckily, we are in it to experience this water festival.

In Chiang Mai, people celebrate this festival at Tae Phae Gate where excitement came kicking in since 10am. I was quite surprised how empty Lang Mor was when we reached the streets to take the red taxi. Upon arrival, we walked in the streets of Tae Phae and bought a water gun. I didnt know where to go but using the loud music as my sense of direction, I followed the music and stumbled upon a large crowd in the middle of the streets with either people dancing or splashing each others with water. There were a lot of hot farangs (white sexy beasts) everywhere. We immediately blend in with our sick random dancing while getting ourselves wet. If you look from a tall building, we really look like small ants. i am not kidding.

After a while, we walked around a bit to see if there is another spot to play. We found a small stage that played my favourite thai song, the Kamikaze Splash Out song, and went crazy. I didnt care how ridiculous i look as others doesnt seem to care as well.

I am so glad my phone is Sony Z3 as one of its specs is to be waterproof and take 20MP pictures. I was able to capture these awesome moments in a lot of videos and pictures..

At 2pm, we hopped on a tuk tuk that costs about 350 baht for an hour (BND$14.50) which brought us around the gate. We were on it for 3 hours. It was so funny, I couldn't explain you in words. Can you imagine five people in a tuk tuk with no roof on and have a bucket of cold water to throw. It was hilarious. We enjoyed it a lot and not think for a second of our assingments. Haha! One of the annoying thing sof Songkran is the feeling of the wind blowing after getting ourselves drenched in cold water. It definitely froze our ass off. But i didnt mind, i was like "too many hotties everywhere!!". I remember this vividly how this one person looked at me with a smirk on his face and i called that smirk and few minutes later, we were having this cute water fight. I have to say everyone was so friendly on that day.

Although the road was packed with cars and the fact that we spent mostly of our time on the road, we made use of it - spraying random people who walked past us. Could you imagine the whole of Chiang Mai was playing the water gun - the funniest yet cutest thing ever.

Apart from that, we also managed to witness a perarakan-like (hahaha lazy to find the exact words for it) of the Buddhas on this gorgeous golden thing where people sprayed water on it. Some used perfumed water while others just use plain river water. I enjoyed everymoment of it and was not planning to be a party pooper about it, albeit to the nasty brown-muddy coloured water that got thrown onto me.

Sawadee pee mai, everyone.
