Songkran2014

13 APRIL 2014 - BANGKOK, THAILAND: A man bathes a Buddha statue in scented oils at Wat Chana Songkram in Bangkok. Many people go to temples and religious ceremonies to make merit on Songkran. Songkran is celebrated in Thailand as the traditional New Year's Day from 13 to 16 April. Songkran is in the hottest time of the year in Thailand, at the end of the dry season and provides an excuse for people to cool off in friendly water fights that take place throughout the country. Songkran has been a national holiday since 1940, when Thailand moved the first day of the year to January 1. PHOTO BY JACK KURTZ
