Songkran 2009
Why stay dry?
Fossil presents: Happy New Year, Thai style.
This annual page is back yet again, and with kind thanks to Ken who braved the hordes of people with water weapons of all sorts to capture these shots. You can see why so many people enjoy this festival, and you can also see why so many avoid it! If anyone else has any photos to share just drop me a line and I'll be only too happy to put them up here for those less fortunate. This year numbers were down compared to previous years, mainly due to the economic downturn affecting everyone, and political problems here in Thailand. It is somewhat more stable now and one hopes it will stay that way so that tourism can start returning to numbers seen in the halcyon days.
