Songkran Parade

This is the opening day of Songkran. It's the Thai new years festival. What happens is in the morning they go up and down streets with symbols and drums to scare away evil spirits, they even put ghost money on trees to burn to send over to the other side to appease the spirits. Sorry the pics are tilted but they are mostly taken at odd angles from my balconey. When the guys saw us taking pics they waved and posed for us

Even little old ladies get in the middle of the streets and dance.
