Today, the scene is completely out of control!
Chinese tourists and other foreign tourists in Thailand really couldn't help it, and since the early hours of last night, one person and one water gun have rushed into the streets, and they have been fighting until now.
Along the road, all kinds of pots and pans, water pipes and pumps, no matter who passes by, will be "attacked" by enthusiastic ice-water mixtures.
Bangkok's road closure celebration, Thailand's wildest joy, will burst out in these days. Whether you are "participating in the battle" through the screen or live, you can experience an unprecedented sense of release.
The smile that disappeared from 2019 is resurrected today, and in the coming week, the world is in focus, and Siam is chartered.

More than 3,000 Chinese tourists arrived in Pattaya, Thailand!
Splash Mode is coming soon!
On April 11, according to Pattaya, Chonburi Province, Thailand, a large number of tourists from China arrived in Pattaya on charter flights to participate in the upcoming Songkran Festival.
IT IS REPORTED THAT THE GROUP OF TOURISTS WILL GO TO THE NEW LOCAL TOURIST ATTRACTION MAHA SONGKAN WATER PARK/PATTAYA WATER SPACE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE WATER SPLASHING ACTIVITY, WITH MORE THAN 3,000 VISITORS.
According to Chinese tourists arriving in Pattaya, after Thailand implemented a visa-free policy for Chinese tourists, Songkran does not need to apply for a visa to travel to Thailand, so a large number of Chinese choose to travel to Thailand and use Pattaya as one of the tourist destinations, the main purpose is to participate in water splashing activities and watch various performances.
It is understood that the whole April is the month of Songkran in Pattaya, and the Maha Songkan Waterpark will be free for local tourists in Thailand to play throughout the month, and the opening hours are 17:00-22:00 every day.
In addition, there are many stalls selling food from all over Thailand, and there are more than 150 shops serving tourists.
The splashing carnival begins!
Bangkok-Chiang Mai is already full of tourists!
According to Thai media news, on April 11, the atmosphere of Songkran Festival in Thailand has been very strong, such as Bangkok's Royal Field Square gathered a large number of people and tourists to splash water and have fun, and there are activities from the afternoon to the evening of the 11-15th of this month, such as gorgeous lights and fountains accompanied by the rhythm of music, filled with a joyful festive atmosphere.
At the same time, the Chiang Mai area in northern Thailand is not to be outdone, and on the evening of the 11th, the gorgeous and beautiful "Thapae Fountain Tunnel" attracted many Thai and foreign tourists to check in and participate in splashing water together.
Nevertheless, the Songkran feat is just beginning, and even more lively scenes are expected in the coming days.
Fan Bingbing brings fire to the Songkran Festival in Thailand
Yesterday, this set of photos blew up!
Dressed in traditional Thai costumes, she amazed everyone present.
A number of local netizens said: I feel that at that moment, she has fully integrated into the traditional culture of Thailand and fully understands the "meaning of putting her palms together".... It's just that the "float" is not high-end enough, or the Thai local atmosphere is too pure, and the so-called "international star" is split.
Last night, the view was even more beautiful.
It can be seen that the Thai Tourism Bureau has done its best for this event.
Chinese tourists, Chinese and Thai Internet celebrities and artists gathered to announce the arrival of the Songkran Festival celebration feast on April 12.
Thailand's safety comes first, splashing water second
Thailand did not disappoint tourists, and safety was at the top of the list of deployments for this year's Songkran Festival.
The safety of visitors is more important than anything else.
Tourist police are in place, emergency medical stations are more numerous, patrol teams are around, and security checks have been raised to the highest level.
Major roads in Thailand have begun to investigate drunk driving and crazy driving, and vehicles are strictly prohibited from entering and exiting the water-splashing area.
Thai troublemakers who drink alcohol and take drugs will be directly "forked" out of the field.
Even on the website, Thailand has arranged for the review of images to fully protect the privacy of tourists when splashing water, and at the same time prevent "obscene images" from being hyped up.
Under normal circumstances, "Siamese sir" is an ordinary water splasher, but those "groping pig hands" and "taking advantage of sexual harassment" will be recorded on the spot, and none of them will be able to escape.
All celebration venues, turn on the "emergency mode", and professionally deal with thieves, robberies and other illegal actions.
Behind the line of defense for security issues, the Songkran Festival in Thailand is left with only healing.
It's the exclusive go-to venue for global carnivals, and in contemporary times, Songkran can be a full-scale foam fountain or a sprinkler of water and sound. Visitors can "bring their own equipment", or they can enjoy this public cleaning without fighting back...
You can sing, you can dance, you are crazy, the crowds of "water fights", crazier than you, the next week, it seems that LGBT+ people from all over the world are coming, and the celebration of Songkran is both a good day and a champagne feast for their "legalization of marriage".
Thailand can satisfy anyone in the world, and tourists from all over the world will remember the whole of Siam because of Songkran, remember the melting climate, remember the festivals, remember the slow and friendly people, remember the epic carnival.
Thailand may not be perfect, but it has done its best to bring more laughter and beauty to the world around us.
Only in Thailand can experience its bags and experience for yourself, the happiness button that has been suppressed for a long time has been activated so easily.
And as long as we allow, any circumstance, any environment, our inner life, can re-enter that joyful Songkran festival anytime and anywhere.
We can even remember the love and madness of life for no reason, and every day we want to, let us burn in a new life.
The past is the past, and the future is renewed.
