Jon's new tatoo

This is the park where every night they have free aerobics and we'd go watch



And to the right is the start of the Songkran festival. Thai New Year.
The basic idea is that you are meant to tip or sprinkle a few droplets of water on another's backs to bless them for the new year.... this has turned into dumping buckets of water on everyone you see and squirting everyone who has remained dry with a water pistol. Its INSANE. iNSANELY AWESOME FUN. You feel slightly guilty being theres a drought in Australia and all but...Little kids come up and smear white clay on your cheeks to bless you... and you just can't not buy a water pistol and join in.
Everyone's in on it.... lil kids, big kids, shopkeepers, monks,mums, dads, not police, but tuk tuk drivers even little old grannies.
Stay tuned for more water filled fun in Vientiane, Laos....... and more pic's of Bangkok
