Thai sunkran festival.

in #photography7 years ago (edited)

What a crazy time of the year, went to Thailand very fist time in April and when I left my hotel to go out and explore Bangkok the staff asked me if I had a phone or a wallet and asked me to hand them what I thought was strange but got both back in each their zip lock bag.
It was only strange until I reached the streets of Bangkok, the biggest water fight were ongoing.

This pictures are a few days later out in the country side.
