A day to pay homage to Buddha and bring happiness to less fortunate.
I had a steady flow of visitors throughout the day, starting shortly after morning services at local temples.
By mid afternoon it was the 'legal drinking age crowd,' watching the football game.
Even though alcohol is not supposed to be sold on this day, apparently it was.
Bottles appeared wrapped in newspaper.
Shortly after 4 p.m. I ventured into town to photograph the arrival of participants and preparation of the festivities and parade.
Teenage monks assigned with the task of keeping the flowers on floats moist, chased each other round the float in a water battle typical of Songkran.
I always enjoy public festivities in Thailand when people celebrate their common interests and beliefs.
