The Water Fight Begins!

 

  • 04/13/2022 - Songkran day is Thailands New Year’s Day, where you can find millions of people having a water fight in the streets for a whole week! Everyone gets dressed in very bright shirts and gets buckets, balloons and bottles full of water to throw at strangers. I have spent this week at home doing water fights with all my friends and people in my apartment building. Also, it is a spiritual day, where you can see young people washing their elders feet and putting powder on their faces to wish their elders prosperity in this next year. It was so fun!

Wat Pho Temple

  01/22/2022 - Wat Pho, this is the first temple Ive been to and I found that they charge foreigners 200 baht (6$ or so) to enter the temple. It is free for national citizens so I was joking with the guard saying “Phom Ma Jak Thailand Khrup” which means I am from Thailand haha. He laughed and asked me to sing the national song so sadly I was caught instantly, I know shocking right? When you enter a temple you must wear long pants, closed toe shoes and a shirt that covers your body and shoulders (so I was sadly very hot both by appearance and temperature). The temples are very pretty and have a ton of detail, Thailand is known for gold so I’ve noticed they paint everything golden it’s very pretty. I had a ton of fun.
