Wow, this is a lot of people! We were down among all this friendliness for several hours on Silom Road, usually a bustling downtown street. You can see that thousands of people literally took over the road to play Songkran there. We met up with some other friends and inched along. It was almost like conga lines going every direction. I stayed directly behind my friend in front of me, and we shuffled/danced in one direction, while people passed us in lines going the other direction (we had to be in lines because it was so crowded, the only way to move is to move into the space directly in front of you). As people passed in other directions, they shouted, "Happy New Year" and slathered us with the powder paste. People sang, danced, yelled, and splashed, but for all this craziness things stayed pretty polite. We took this picture from the skytrain platform above the street--we were ready to be out of the crowd! Look closely at the bottom picture, and you can see individual people as far as you can see! I had a vivid thought: "You're not in Folsom anymore, Kristy!"
