Post 373: Song Kran Festival 2012

The Festival of Song Kran had arrived again, April 13-15, formerly New Year here in Thailand but now little more than an excuse for merriment and a cursory visit to the Temple ....
It’s a time of year when Thai’s travel back to their home towns and villages, a time of year when buses, trains and aeroplanes are full ....
It was time to head up country and put some Kilometres on the Tiger Retro 110 ....
It was hot, uncomfortably so, so I dressed accordingly and enjoyed the odd splash of water from roadside kids ....
In fact, there was no escaping it ....
Invited or not, everybody becomes part of the national water fight ....
Unless you happen to be a Monk ... mai pen rai kap
