The best part about this water festival is that everyone participates. Adults, kids and foreigners.

You're usually given a timeout when you're inside a restaurant (even if you're on the terasse) or in a shop. But whenever your feet are on the street, watch your back!

So picture this ugly fat 4 eyed white woman. She looked mean and it seemed that everyone was letting her walk without splashing water on her, simply watching her go. Then Math gave me the okay look so I aimed her back and fired my watergun. She turns around and yells: WHO JUST DID THAT? The whole street goes silent.

Of course, I was too shy to answer. But Math and a guy from our guesthouse were laughing in their sleeve. So the woman starts yelling at the man: You think it's funny? I'm so sick and tired of getting wet. Blablabla. And all of a sudden, our guesthouse's OWNERS, respectable Thais, yell back: Hey! This is Thailand! It's Songkran! Everybody gets wet! Why you come here?

And everybody just laughed while the lady walked away.

I felt a bit sorry for her but mostly, I felt foolish for listening to Math. He obviously played a prank on me. And the man who got yelled at? He thought it was hilarious. Ouf! It seemed that the lady had already passed on the street previously while I was still in the guesthouse and that she got mad when the kids and foreigners gave her no mercy. And Math knew I didn't know that ;)
