"The Songkran festival (Thai: สงกรานต์) is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year's Day from 13 to 15 April. It coincides with the New Year of many calendars of South and Southeast Asia...
The most obvious celebration of Songkran is the throwing of water upon others. Thais roam the streets with containers of water or water guns... City officials close off many sections of the street thoroughfares for the festival disallowing all vehicular traffic save for ice trucks and fire engines which also partake in the watering festivities."
