Songkran (A.K.A Thai New Year) is a water festival in Thailand and across Southeast Asia. The water festival starts on the 13rd of April and lasts for 3 days. This year 2023, it was a bigger celebration nationwide as we had not been able to celebrate for the past two years due to Covid. These pictures represent Thai people celebrating Songkran on pickup trucks, splashing water on the streets in Bangkok, Thailand
