One day last year our friends asked us if we would like to meet them in Thailand (we live in Germany) and without hesitation we said “yes!”
The timing was perfect and we planned the trip around Songkran a.k.a the Thai New Year. Songkran is an experience that is so difficult to describe. Imagine being part of the worlds largest water fight, streets packed full with people at all hours, pouring buckets of water on each other and everyone armed with water guns!
Needless to say, my husband, our friends and I relived our childhoods running around Bangkok shooting people with our water guns and remaining drenched day and night. Simply put, it was a BLAST!
