“In a way this would usually be an interesting time to visit Thailand, they play water.”

Over the years, this has gotten out of hand. These days, it’s a free for all that goes on for days and days. People throw dirty water, try to hit people on motorcycles in the face and douse people who are wearing nice clothing and going to work.

Some expatriates who live there leave the country for a week to avoid the madness. Many tourists behave very badly as well.
