songkran :: april 9-15

traditionally, the thai new year involved gently sprinkling others with purifying water from a silver bowl to metaphorically wash away sins of the previous year.

the holiday has evolved to include super soaker ambushes on an epic scale, gorgeously painted elephants randomly drenching passersby (with water), and an annual tasting menu at soba.
