New Year celebrations are perhaps one of the most fun holidays the world over, more so in Thailand where the whole country takes out to the streets for three days in April for Songkran. Coinciding with similar celebrations in Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos, the Thai New Year has become the most popular and biggest water fight in the planet. This is no surprise since it takes place during the hottest month in the country, becoming an excuse for everyone to cool down under the hot summer sun.
