Songkran

The Thai New Year Festival kicked off with a bang.

I left my room and five steps down the road I was soaked to the bone and had red and white powder smeered in my face...

The Thai people believe that this tradition "The water part" cleanses your soul from the bad things that happened to you or you did the last year to prepare you for this year, and "the powder part" brings you luck and prosperity for the next year.

We embraced the party in true Barakuda style. We changed the shop into a water war zone :)
