Arrived just in time for the start of the Thai New Year celebrations, Songkran, which basically equals a huge water fight - don't go out and expect to stay dry for long! There is also the added bonus of getting clay stuff smeered on your face - it's 'lucky' apparantly! So after wandering around, getting something to eat, darting between the crowds I turned up to meet my Intrepid group quite damp and with a good dose of clay caked in my hair and over my clothes. It got a few laughs that's for sure! There are only 7 in this group which seems so small after the 12 in China! We went out to dinner and then four of us bought descent sized water pistols and joined in the fun! I have never been so wet in my life! Still it was loads of fun, minus the clay in eyes which happened frequently!
