Tourists and locals alike joined in the fun of the massive water fight. The first day of Songkran, the Thai New Year, started with a massive water fight in Chiang Mai, which will last for three days. The tradition comes from pouring a small amount of water on a statue of Buddha, or monks, to receive a blessing in return. Now the blessings flow freely and rather than a small sprinkle of water, can be administered by hose, bucket of even super soaker water pistols. The traditional blessings were also administered during a parade through the city where buddha statues from many of the local temples were doused in water, as were local monks.

Tourists and locals alike joined in the fun of the massive water fight. The first day of Songkran, the Thai New Year, started with a massive water fight in Chiang Mai, which will last for three days. The tradition comes from pouring a small amount of water on a statue of Buddha, or monks, to receive a blessing in return. Now the blessings flow freely and rather than a small sprinkle of water, can be administered by hose, bucket of even super soaker water pistols. The traditional blessings were also administered during a parade through the city where buddha statues from many of the local temples were doused in water, as were local monks.
