Songkran Traditions

Songkran is the Thai New Year(Sawatdee pi mai). Traditionally a time for cleansing and renewal, to welcome in the rainy season. It has now turned into a large water fight that fills the streets of Bangkok for 3 days, every year it falls April 13 - 15. April is the hottest month of the year, generally in the 100's, this can be considered a welcomed tradition. However, traditionalist usually visit the Wats, to bath the Buddhist image.
Teaching Bryce tradition with out the chaos. He takes it as serious business.

Traditional attire for this time of year is what we know as Hawaiian prints. Not the greatest time to wear a red shirt, but he is a falang baby. The shorts were a gift from Kookai's family.
