Pattaya Songkran 2012 Photos

Songkran should be, can be, and most certainly is fun if you approach it in the right spirit, and just to prove it, here are some photos of Thais getting very wet and having lots of fun during the Songkran festival in Pattaya 2012. The photos below were taken mainly on Pattaya Beach Road, Soi Nernplubwan, and Walking Street.
