festival but nothing like in Chiang Mai.

We went down to the Ping River in Chiang Mai Thailand for the Loi Krathong Festival
around dusk. We purchased food from vendors a waited for it to get dark.
More and more people arrived to float krathongs and shoot fireworks. We
left around

starts around 10PM, The Land parade starts around 6:30 on the road next
to the river. Next year we will video the land parade. We went home and

Songkran or as it is now known as the Thai New Year started in Lanna
around 700 hundred years ago. Then the Lanna Kingdom comprised of North and Northeast Thailand, parts
of Laos, Burma and southern Yunnan Province China. Songkran today is still celebrated in these areas
except Burma where it has been banned by the military government there.
Songkran was not celebrated in the rest of Thailand until around the 1950’s. In Bangkok then most of
the workers, as today, came from the north or northeast part of Thailand. When Songkran came around, April 13 – 15,
most of the workers just left work and went to their villages for the New Year. For this reason the government and
most businesses had to shut down for Songkran. For this reason this is now an official holiday in Thailand.
The meaning of water during Songkran is very important. Pouring water on each other and Buddha statues is to wash away
the past and a cleansing for the future year. This started as just pouring water on the hands or on the shoulder of others
with a small cup of water. This has now grown into the largest water fight on the planet.
