For those who are interested, a reminder that Songkran is not just a Thai festival, or a SE Asian festival, or even a Buddhist festival. Its origins lie in Hinduism (not forgetting that Angkor was originally a Hindu kingkom and the Khmers formerly Hindus). The Thai king has always maintained at least one Hindu priest in residence to perform Hindu rites on appropriate occasions.
