Song Kran

We are in Chiang Mai for the Thai New Year and water festival. The hot season has come to a head. Koaw said "I hear they play hard in Chiang Mai" and she heard right! What started out as a way to honor the elders by sprinkling their hands with water has turned into three days of hard core nam len (water play). Nobody is safe, not the old Malaysian Muslim who forgot to shut his van window on our tour today and certainly not Farangs (foreigners). Our fingers and toes were wrinkly by the time we made it back to Gaps Guest house.
