Thailændere fejrer nytåret med vandkampe og besøg i templerne

Der er udbrudt massive vandkampe i Bangkoks gader, men det er helt ventet og helt i orden, for thailænderne har åbnet fejringen af nytåret med den traditionelle Songkran festival, der falder denne weekend.

Songkran er også kendt som vandfestivalen, hvor de mere højtidelige buddhister besøger templerne og rituelt overhælder renselsesvand på statuer af Buddha, mens de mere uhøjtidelige bevæbner sig med vandkanoner og festlig udklædning og gør klar til folkefest.
