I am amazed by your explanations on the Songkran! Did you go to splash water in all those places? In the South, it was slightly different coz they had street processions plus week long night fairs in villages. They also had Miss Songkran Pageant which often attracted hordes of old hamsap men from the jungles & hills. LOL... Then most well to dos would exchange gifts like Christmas!
