Songkran Festival

It's now officially year 2554 in the Kingdom of Thailand-my second home. So yeah, I don't need to bother about 2012 because we passed it already. Maybe, I need time machine or Doctor Who of BBC if just in case I would like to go back on those years that I've missed.

Maybe you're wonderering what I'm writing about? Let me give you the brieft history of Thai New Year.

Thailand celebrates it's New Year "Songkran" for three days depends on which day it will fall on their Thai calendar in April or May. It last for three days with a non-stop water splashing along the roads. There is a 543 years difference between the Buddhist calendar and the Gregorian calendar. I was born in 1982 so, which year I was born in Thailand? you do the Math!!! hahahaha
