Wet, Wet, Songkran Weekend!

I've heard so much about Songkran celebrations in Thailand. But never had the opportunity to experience it before, although there are somewhat some kind of Songkran celebrations in Penang (my hometown) as well. 

So, finally, this year - I had the privilege to accompany a group of bloggers to Khon Kaen (North Eastern part of Thailand) as part of the #AABCSongkranAdventure and you know what.... 

SONGKRAN IS AWESOME!! 

And here are some photos that speak for themselves :) 

That's Jason Walauwei's super long hands that act as our selfie stick throughout the trip :D Hehehe.

The AirAsia Water Station @ Srichan Road in Khon Kaen... the parade & party were held here. It is nearby the Central Plaza Khon Kaen. Photo is my own.

I would dare say - you've never experienced Songkran until you've experienced it in Thailand! Don't worry if you've missed out on the fun this year, because you can start planning for your own trip next year. 

Songkran (which is the Thai New Year) happens on the 2nd week of April every year - and there will be Songkran festivals almost anywhere throughout the whole of Thailand during the celebrations. So take your pick, plan your trip and be ensured you'll have a great time next April :D 

Our team went to Khon Kaen, which is a Thai AirAsia domestic destination (Bangkok - Khon Kaen: 4x daily flights. Flight duration is approx. 60min. Just check out the flight timings at the AirAsia website). 

It is very different from most of the other Thai cities that I have ever visited (only Bangkok, Phuket, Krabi, Chiang Mai so far) but I will leave that to another post, to share with you about what's good and what's not good over there! 

I'm gonna go get my water gun out for another water war after this :) 

Meanwhile, have a great weekend ahead everyone!
