Preparations to party

Cloudy with intermittent sunshine. That's what things look like and most likely will remain over the holidays. Parked near the temple entrance. The temple was quite sleepy and quiet.

Along city streets it was a different story. Everyone was setting up. Vendors displaying Songkran weaponry, buckets, powder, flowers, etc.

The younger kids already started celebrating. I got a couple of cups of water down my neck. Everyone was aware I had a camera and made sure it did not get wet.

Drums had been placed along the road, and fire trucks began dispensing water.

The street where the food fair will open this evening was abuzz with activity.

Food stalls being set up, furniture unloaded, tents being erected.

Things looked a bit more lively in my neighborhood
