Songkran Festival

Here are some pictures from the recent Thai new year celebration / water wars in Chiang Mai, Sukhothai and Phitsanoluk. The last shot is a self-portrait. It won't win me any beauty contests, but it illustrates the insanity of Songkran. This is what happened to me in the short distance I had to walk from my tuk-tuk (cab) to my hotel in Bangkok.

Yes, some kind of thick paint/paste combo that is also all over my luggage.

In the picture you took of yourself you really do look like you are about 15.

You'll all be jealous when I'm finally passing for 27 at the age of 40.
