Thailand's lunar new year celebration . Buddha images are 'bathed', monks and elders receive the respect of younger Thais by the sprinkeling of water over their hands, and a lot of water is tossed about for fun .Songkran generally gives everyone a chance to release their frustrations and literlly cool off during the peak of hot season . hideout in your room or expect to be soaked ; the latter is a lot more fun .
