Starting tomorrow, the country of Thailand will be celebrating the traditional new year, which is called Songkran. Old traditions of pouring water on people's hands in order to bless them has changed over the years into one big water fight. This means that if you are driving by on a motorcycle or car down any road in Thailand, you will be covered with water and baby powder by the end of your trip (its not even officially started yet, and I've already gotten soaked with water and powdered up). In addition, with the holiday season comes lots of drinking whiskey as well. In fact, in the village I live in and in another village that I went to visit today, I'm not sure if I saw any men who were not drunk. The combination of a big water fight and massive drunkenness usually lead to many deaths. Pray for safety for the Thai people, and for opportunities for us to share with people during this holiday time.
Keep a look out on the blog for pics of what goes down in Sisaket, Thailand during Songkran
