Songkran 2013 - Chiang Mai / Wondrlust

Filmed during 3 days in the biggest Songkran Festival in Thailand. More on: http://www.wondrlust.org / http://www.facebook.com/wondrlust The water is to wash all bad things away and can be infused with herbs. The celebration is coincidentally held in the hottest month in Thailand thus providing a welcome relief from the sweltering heat (getting drenched in icy water is less pleasant though!). Songkran marks Thai New Yea and according to that calender, this is the year 2556. Song: Electricity by The Avalanches. Filmed completely with the GoPRO Hero 3: Black Edition.
