| Songkran 2008 |
| The Thai New Year (Songkran) festival usually falls on April 13-15th, but here in Chiang Mai we get started early. It's the hot season so look out - a bucket of cold water is headed your way... |

| At the city moat they're already getting crazy |
| Better to stay home with the kids (2 monsters) |
| Songkran is a good time to be a kid too! |
| We have a good crowd staying at our place this year |
| Well-behaved children (NOT!) |
 |

 |
 |
| JJ, Vat, Audi - armed and dangerous |
| It is useless to resist - everyone must have fun! |

 |
| You guys had to get tired sooner or later |
| Chow Down! |

| Enough fun at home - -time to hit the city moat |
| Extremely tall Kathoey (ladyboy). Quite spooky! |
| amazing self-deploying bucket! |
| Blocks of ice for sale everywhere - resulting ice water makes for a real shock |
| Southeast corner of the city moat seems the most busy |
| Traditional parade at the Tha Phe Gate |
 |

 |
| Final day, at Huay Tung Tao (with 5 thousand people) |
| Two handsome boys - guess which is the naughty one... |
| That's enough Songkran until next year! |
