The Songkran water celebrations are part of the traditional Thai New Year festivities that take place every year from April 13 to April 15.

This years fun was much more subdued in Bangkok due to the Red Shirt Riots, however in other areas of the country people armed with water guns, hose pipes and buckets hit the streets to soak as many people as they could.

Here’s a selection of images taken in Bangkok and Hua Hin of the biggest water fight in the world.
