Pouring Water on Monks at Songkran
Posted on 16 April 2010
One of the more traditional events that took place during Songkran recently was "song nam phra". This is the practice of bathing Buddha images with rose scented water. Most tourists, and even some Thai teenagers, seem to think that Songkran is only about throwing water at each other.
