Anti government protesters splash water on each other as they celebrate the traditional Songkran new year festival during a protest in Bangkok, Thailand, 13 April 2022. Protesters held their own water splashing celebrations as the government imposed a ban on the traditional festivities of water splashing in public as a precaution against the ongoing rapid spread of the COVID-19 Omicron coronavirus variant. Songkran, Thai new year festival, also known as the water festival, falls annually on 13 April, and is traditionally celebrated with people splashing water and putting powder on each other's faces as a symbolic sign of cleansing and washing away the sins from the past year.
