Splash Water day!!

14 April was the Splash Water Festival(I think) in Thailand ,so my family and I went there that day….

We departed from our home almost 8 in the morning and arrived there at about 9.45

When we just arrived the town, the police there were on duty in early.

The traffic police stand in front of the roundabout and gave order about car’s moving because there were too many cars there.

Mostly came to experience the festival.

When we having our breakfirst,we meet 2 family from our place. They were came for the festival too. All of us in wear of casual:a simple t-shirt and a short pants.(preparing for wet)^^haha!!

Then, we just walk around the town. The festival haven’t start. But we can saw that lots of the streets’ hawker started promote their things: water pistol. Children asking their dad to buy the pistol. I think the hawker can make much profits on that day.

At about 10.30,the festival started.

First, what we saw were a huge number of people walked in the middle of street wearing beach clothes. They were prepared for wet. Then the people beside the street started to sprinkle water towards them.

After a while, I can saw that the streets became so “crazy”.

The youth sit on a lorry and then with a pistol or anything which can sprinkle the water,they started to splash water to verybody they saw. The pity one was those who sit on motorcycle. They were attacked because they will totally wetted. I cant said that they were pity because….they were quite enjoyed when wetted.

The crazier one was some of them use the coloured powder mixed with the water and splashed to everyone and every car. Some put the powder on their face and tried to do the same to others.

I was a bit wetted when I walk through the street. A chinese girl saw that I’m not wetted and she just take up a plastic pipe and sprinkle water to me!! Luckily I ran as fast as I could because the water was coloured !!

And then there were battle at the roads!!

When a lorry with youth meet with another lorry with youth also,they will started battle with splashed water to each other…the streets was filled with screaming and “high” shrieking!!

For me,the most pity one was the police because they were on their duty but the crazy one splash water to them also and put the powder on their face…

How can they do that as the police were cared the safety of them from being injured with vehicles….the armed soldier and police were patrolled all the times to make sure that the safety of country is in control….i’m quite respect them because although the peoples done such to them and also needed to patrol under the hot sun but they still doing their duty well…*V*

We then walked into a shops for escaped from wetted more serious, meanwhile bought some junk food. We bought peanuts of 3 flavour,nuts produced by Thailand(forgot its name), mango,durian cakes,coconut cakes and others with unknown names.

At about 2 in the afternoon, we went for lunch at a restaurant on a hill. We ordered a seafood tomyam, a coconut milk seafood, a “kangkung” with sambal and a papaya salad.

Taste great!! But honestly its too little for 5 peoples to eat!!

After that,we departed to hot spring in Thailand. At there, we bought a packet of “em chun dan” ,it’s an egg of a type of birds. We put it in a place where specific for tourist to boil the eggs. After 15 minutes,the eggs were boiled. The water of that corner was boiling every seconds. So, don’t play play …haha^^

Then ,we went to another place with water which quite hot also but acceptable by human skin. My sisters and I put our legs in. Quite hot but after a while,it just like warm. I heard that this water can improve the circulation of our blood.

After an hour and 30 minutes there, we back to the town and loitering with ….car of course! When we past a place,if there were peoples stand by there to splash the water, we move in slow motion for them to splash us!!haha!! Some of them not really dare to splash us. Maybe they saw our car board number and knowed that we were tourist,then they scared to be so crazy gua…haha!!

In this short tour,I found that the residens there were really crazy that day. Even police they also didn’t scared to splash water to them. In short,this tour was really incredible and amazing!! It showed me that every country got their own special festival….the splash water festival maybe is one of their new year celebration(I think)…If got chance you all must go there once!!
