Songkran Festival

It's here! The week i've been waiting for since the plane touches down. Songkran festival! Otherwise known as the country-wide, weeklong, water fight of your life. The Songkran festival celebrates the Thai New year from the 13th-15th of April every year but festivities last all week. The water is about washing away the previous year, coming out of the festival anew ready to start the next year right. Today I got drenched over, and over, and over, and over, and over... It was a lot... I still have 2 more days. This is the week I shoot the video i've been waiting to make my whole trip and i'm super excited. I got some awesome shots today and i'll get more the next couple of days as well. Stay tuned for the edit, I can't wait til you see how ham the thai people go for this. I can't think of a better way to show the land of smiles than with the most smiles i've ever seen in one place. Stay tuned!
