During Songkran celebration, people goes to the streets bringing water with them and splashing it to the passersby. They may have water guns, pails of water, or water hose. Any passerby - whether walking or riding on any form of transpo will be splashed with water.
Songkran is done this way because Thai people believed that by throwing water, a person will be cleansed from all sins he has done previously. New year, new life. Elders usually go to the temple and pray. But youngsters celebrate this festival for fun by throwing water to each other.
Foreigners in Thailand also join Thai people in celebrating Songkran Festival.
