Photos: Wet and Wild Songkran in Kowloon City

Yesterday crowds of Thai people/expats living in Hong Kong headed to Kowloon City (aka Little Thailand) to splash one another with buckets of water, water guns, and hoses to celebrate the Thai new year, Songkran, where water splashing is tradition in Thailand to usher in the New Year. Many police officers were present for crowd control, and they too joined in the fun as they got wet and were all smiles. Looks like a lot of fun!
