Happy Thai New Year Photo

Photographer’s Note

A Happy Song Kran or Thai New Year to all! Despite the political chaos show on TV, most Bangkokians are out enjoying the festival as usual. The wild partying is still going on in the streets around me. It is far too dangerous to go out, not because of protesters or the military, but because of happy youngsters covering everyone with water and white paste and having hilarious fun. This is the traditional way that the festival is marked

Hi Kevin,
You have really captured the fun of Song Kran in this capture, the two young people look to be having a wonderful time. Lovely work.
I so miss having buckets of water thrown over me, I wish I was there to celebrate with you.

Hi Kevin!
Great representation of Songkran! It's all here...the powder, the water, and the confusion, haha. Very timely! I just escaped Songkran this year. Keep up the good work! Fond regards,

A nice pair of smiles at close range.
Light was favorable and the mood is a joyful one... I was in Chiang Mai at the time, there were no protests there!
