Thailand is built around its many festivals, events, and celebrations. I first fell in love with the country during a visit in 2004, arriving, unwittingly, during the heart of Singkran. I was soaked to the bone moment I stepped out of my taxi, trying to walk the 3 metres to my hotel entrance. Despite this harsh welcome, I couldn’t help but be fascinated by the fun and friendly nature of the festival and the way the whole country passionately celebrated as one.
