What could be more lucky to celebrate the Songkran Festival ( Thai’s New Year) in Chiang Mai? The most famous spot for tourism during this period, you see people rushing in from all around Thailand, including the foreigners, getting ready for action. “A chance to get hold of all the best looking boys in Thailand!” commented a girl friend.

• First, you had a choice, land or at the back of the truck, then you choose your tools. For land, you just need to find a spot along the busy road next to the Klong (river that was filtered, cleaned specially by the government) , and buy a 20 baht bucket with the string;
• For the back of the truck, you need to get a driver( to stop for water refilling and who is not tempted to play) , then a big bucket of water or ice water, and small pails.
• Procedure: you grab the string and throw the bucket into the Klong as fast as you can, fill up the bucket and start splashing on whoever you see( well, you usually look for the good-looking ones, or handsome foreigners!). For maximum effect, wear a sexier top, or light color shirts and shorts that can instantly revealed your body shape!
• Well, the actual meaning of the Songklan is of course not to soaked into a water war, but more like a new beginning, washing away all the bad lucks or wrong doings and start new. At the beginning of the day, a trip to a temple to ask for forgiveness and make donations (make merit) is a must!
• It is a day to loose all your guards towards people, a day to only allow happy emotions flow in, a day to give the biggest smile to a person worth giving, even you have not seen him or her before, the only effort to grab his or her attention is just as simple as a water war!
