Songkran : Water festival

Hey there,
About less than a week, in thailand there will be a water festival called Songkran again. Actually, this water festival is also a Thailand New Year, from 13th April - 15th April every year.
What we normally do for this festival?
1. Go to the temple and give food to the monk.
2. Visitting grandparents and relatives
3. Throwing water to each other ( because Thai people believe that water will take away your bad luck plus April is the hottest month in Thailand)
Where should we go for water festival?
1. Bangkok (Khaosan road, Silom road) --> fun, lots of water wars, but crownded
2. Chiang Mai --> fun, crownded, but also have a beautiful thai style parade
3. Sukhothai --> beautiful, thai style, many people but not too crownded
Actually, there are many places like on the beach that you can also enjoy. Just go and have fun.
Enjoy Thai summer, enjoy Songkran.
Talk more soon.

P.S. be careful for your wallet and mobile phone, better to leave them at your house and go out only with few money
