Today is the last official day of Songkran. Known as Wan Thaloeng Sok or "rising into the new year." This is the first day of the new year in Thai tradition. It is a day when people visit family, especially their elders. It is extremely common to wash the feet and hands of your parents and monks as a show of respect and thankfulness.
Songkran may be known world wide as the worlds largest water fight but that is an elevated ideal. It's more about a playful time of respect, honor, and renewal. All things that don't convey or associate with the term fight.
May all beings have a joyous, lucky, and successful year. Sawadee Pi Mai!
