Welcome to #Checkin for Tuesday, April 16, 2024!

Hiya! Today is Songkran Day in Thailand! Songkran is one of my favourite festivals. It was Thailand's traditional New Year, before New Year there was changed to January 1. More importantly Songkran is celebrated as a sort of physical and spiritual Spring Cleaning Day. Songkran is well known for its water throwing celebrations. Water fights and ambushes take place throughout the country. Aside: coloured chalk is used too! People use containers of water, water guns or hoses to soak everyone else in sight. It's a good thing that April is the hottest month of the year, hence being soaked is refreshing. Being in a vehicle doesn't spare you either, unless your car doors are locked, since pails of water are flung into cars with unlocked doors. Hence, if you're in Thailand today, be prepared to be soaked and colourful. Imagine indulging in a day long water fight! 🤭😂😂😂

Your turn, what is your favourite fesitival?
