30 Faces of Songkran: Portraits of Wet People

We were lucky enough to be in Chiang Mai during Thailand‘s new year festivites, known as Songkran, but also known as the biggest water fight in the whole world!

Everyone takes to the streets with water guns and buckets filled with icy water to throw over each other – Trust me, if you step outside during Songkran, you’re going to get wet!

Armed with a bin bag covering my camera (actually an Op Tech Rain-Sleeve) we hit the streets for a thorough dousing!

More Songkran footage coming soon! 🙂

I’d love to know which is your favourite Songkran snap! Mine is probably the little boy hiding under his bucket!
