Songkran Water Festival

Today we woke up and headed into town on a long boat to do the Tiger Cave Temple.

i knew we were going to have to hike 1267 steps but I didn't factor in that the steps were going to be 18 inches high and STRAIGHT up!

It was also 80+ degrees and 90% humidity. It was very, very hard. I've never sweat that much, ever. Drenched.

Not happy going up. Coming down was also very hard bc our legs were shaking so much it was hard to step. But the view from the top:

Those mountains!

And a giant gold buddha

So then our taxi took us back. And the Sangkran water festival began! This is one of the best travel memories and one of my favorite things I've done because it was pure play! The entire country has MASSIVE water fight. We bought supersoakers and joined in the fun!

We then proceeded to go around town and battle. People also had wet chalk they would rub all over you and your face.

People filled their truck beds with huge tanks of water. There were refill stations all over. People with hoses and buckets.

Everyone was playing.

We had SO much fun!
