Normally taking place from the 13th to the 15th of April, it is the biggest celebration in Thailand, filled with small rituals of enormous symbolism, such as the one in which Thais take to the streets with water pistols to wet (and purify) each other or in which young people pour water on the hands of the elderly, asking for their blessings.
