Local and foreign revelers douse each other with water during the Songkran water festival in a popular tourist area of Bangkok, Thailand, Wednesday, April 13, 2016. Bangkok, Thailand. The Songkran festival, also known as the Thai New Year or Thailand Water Festival, was originally celebrated as a way to offer good fortune to elders and pay their respects to the beloved Buddha. Today the festival has transformed into 3 days of water fun, splashing locals and visitors alike with buckets of water, water hoses and super soakers as they gather in the streets.
