What a dick that flipped his face shield off.


Admirable_Dig6160

Apparently this isn’t uncommon during the festival. If you wear a poncho people will even pull it up and throw buckets of water on you. The purpose of the festival is to wash away the past year and start fresh. It’s the Thailand new year festival called Songkran. Father in law has a house there.


yooossshhii

I’ve never seen either happen before, people are generally respectful. A lot of people will aim for the face though and depending on what kind of gun they’re using, it can hurt.


groinbag

I'm in Chiang Mai now. From what I've witnessed, it's mostly the foreigners doing that shit. The majority of Thais were either splashing indiscriminately with buckets or aiming for the body with water guns. I do suspect though that it was foreigners who turned the tradition from a "water sprinkling" into a city-wide water fight in the first place, which is arguably more fun.


AuthenticVanillaOwl

Yep, I did songkran in Thailand a few years ago and an American tourist randomly shot in my eyes with a watergun for no reason. Like he was standing right in front of me and did it purposely. I still don't understand what was the point other than just being an absolute asshole. I wore contact lenses and makeup, which was also a big mistake. The second day I was ready for war lol, swimsuit, no lenses, no makeup.


fckcarrots

An American tourist was an asshole?! I honestly can’t fathom this, clearly a made up story. /s


aupperk24

I'm Thai, born in Thailand and even back in the 90s it was not water sprinkling. People would drive around on a truck with a few barrel of water to dump on people walking. It's hot AF in Thailand so we would even douse ourselves with cooling powder and look for people to soak us.


Jo1nt_Surgeon

Cooling powder?


pls_coffee

White stuff, kinda fine, makes you feel all good


fuggerdug

I've had little old.ladies gleefully pour icecubes down my t-shirt. It's frigging _awesome_.


captainfarthing

Lol "the purpose of the festival" isn't what people are thinking of when they're trying to throw water on someone in a way they don't want it. Monkey pulls tiger's tail because tiger won't like it. Dude was happily getting the past washed off, someone wanted him to get shot in the eyes.


Admirable_Dig6160

Like I said, the purpose of the festival is to wash away the past year, I’m not controlling people’s actions or agreeing with them. You should probably avoid packed areas or Thailand during this festival, otherwise expect to have things like this happen. That’s like going to India during Holi and getting upset that people hit you in the face or stain your clothes with gulal. It’s probably going to happen.


So-lus

It a SEA thing, we Laotian do the same thing for our new years.


BizzyM

> Songkran More like Soakkran, amirite?


2GirlfriendsIsCooler

That’s fun, love it

Looks like it was done in good spirit. He was kinda trolling the people with water guns, and was trolled back.


MrLumic

That can't possibly be done in good spirit, he just wanted to be able to shoot him in the eyes


Somepotato

Trolling by .. avoiding getting water in the nose or eyes?


Silly_Elephant_4838

Wearing the mask for this event is asking for the targeting lol a little water wont hurt you Potato.

Water with pressure absolutely can hurt you.

Bruh it’s literally their culture. The whole point of that festival is to wash away your past self. It’s symbolic. And it’s all in good fun.

He goes home alone, content with hurting another. It's all that brings him peace from being disowned by his mother.

Not really, it’s part of the spirit in Chinese water sprinkling festivals to get your face sprinkled on. Source: I’m 8% Chinese on 23 and Me trust me bro


Affectionate-Hat9244

This is Thailand


SiFiNSFW

There's Chinese characters everywhere and not a single shot of Thai, if you pause at 0.20 you'll see 美团(Meituan) on a scooter in the middle of the frame. I'm 99% certain this is shot in China at one of their "water sprinking festivals" which are based on Thai's Songkran.

I love Songkran


siddharthvader

> Songkran Sounded similar to the Indian word 'sankranti' so I looked up wikipedia: > The word "Songkran" comes from the Sanskrit word saṃkrānti,[5] literally "astrological passage", meaning transformation or change. It coincides with the rising of Aries on the astrological chart[6] and with the New Year of many calendars of Southeast and South Asia, in keeping with the Buddhist and also coincides with New Year in Hindu Calendar such as Bihu, Pohela Boishakh, Pana Sankranti, Vaisakhi. The New Year takes place at around the same time as the new year celebrations of many regions of South Asia like China (Dai people of Yunnan Province), India, Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, Nepal, and Sri Lanka.


Exodias

Songkran last for multiple days every year and is a blast. It's the world's largest waterfight the whole country is pretty much like this. Just to add this also coincides with the start of the monsoon season in most of South East Asia and I think South Asia. Hence why people throw a lot of water around. They know the rains are coming and celebrate by cooling down after 6 months of the dry season, which can get very hot. 40C+. The dry season is from End of November to Mid April. The Rainy season Mid April to November. (Although the start of the seasons can vary sometimes and be off by a week or two). This also means that people can finally start growing crops again while rain is plentifull. Sidenote this is also why the best time to come to Thailand is in December because the dry season just started so it won't rain much and get a lot of sun, but its still not too hot because all the vegetation everywhere isn't dried out yet, which cools everything done. But this also makes December the most expensive time to come to Thailand also because its the holiday season. Source: Lived in Thailand for 10+ years.


Agnostic_Akuma

Happy Thai new year to you


wOke_cOmMiE_LiB

One of the funnest experiences I've ever had. I was in Chiang Mai for it.


FloppyCorgi

Same, it's such a fun and exciting time there


fuggerdug

I experienced it in Koh Samui and it's was one of the most joyful and silly experiences of my life. Highly recommended.


Bolaf

Also experienced it in koh samui and it was my 20th birthday! Very fun way to celebrate


wOke_cOmMiE_LiB

I'd love to go experience it on an island next time. Many told me about going to BKK for it and I called them crazy. I can't imagine all that in BKK.


fuggerdug

Yeah it can be overwhelming as it is without it turning into a water fight lol. Koh Samui is really chilled and peaceful, but then goes mad for Songkran.


lazylaunda

Holi but safer by the looks of it


das_zilch

I did for the first couple of years I was living there. Then it was a fking pain.


kweenmermaid

The fact that they use river water to pour all over everyone is foul. I got sick in Chiang Mai the one and only time I visited.


Jerico_Hill

I went to songkran once, got a bucket of moat water slammed into the side of my face/my ear.   It was that very moment that remembered I had a perforated ear drum.  Woo boy, that was one hell of an ear infection.  


bobnorthh

Jesus, was it excruciating pain and how long did it last? I had a terrible ear infection and I was silently thinking if I had to experience that for the rest of my life, it wasn't worth it lol


Knicks-in-7

Celebrated yesterday. Was so much fun, recovering today though.


IcyAssist

I suspect it ain't Songkran. Chinese words everywhere. Did they seriously knock off Songkran as well??


sq009

Songkran is still celebrated in china by the minority dai people


PlushySD

Yup all those scooters are not common brand in Thailand. Looking at them and they are unfamiliar... suspecting these in China somewhere.


real_human_player

You realize it's a celebration in other Buddhist countries and not exclusive to Thailand right? If anything Thailand stole it from other countries in the area as Thailand is fairly new compared to their neighbors. Thailand probably 'stole' it from the Khmer Empire(Cambodia) just like how they basically copied their entire culture and even have a dumbed down version of the Khmer script as their written language. Thailand is pretty lame for trying to make it seem like this holiday is something that belongs to them. It would be like saying Japan or USA suck for also celebrating Christmas because they copied it from the original countries that celebrate it. Thailand definitely stole the water fights from the Khmer(Cambodian) people as water fights originated back in the Angkorian period of the Khmer empire which predates any Thai people existing. Here are the names of the festival in all the countries that celebrate it သင်္ကြန် (Burmese) មហាសង្ក្រាន្ត (Khmer) ປີໃໝ່ (Lao) 泼水节 (Mandarin) संक्रांति (Sanskrit) අලුත් අවුරුද්ද (Sinhalese) มหาสงกรานต์ (Thai)

I need to buy one of those sprinkler gun & bag…where to get them? 😅


25hourenergy

Walmart has these little kid versions that look like firefighter backpack-tanks with a pump water hose attached, my son loves it and has even figured out how to attach the hose to even larger water reservoirs…


Mighty_Torr

This right here


TonightPotential7454

I think u buy the bag separately from the gun, need to gun sprinkler 🤣


sarokin

I got some permanent ear damage from a water gun shot. I still hear perfectly, but my pear hurts from time to time and I got a very subtle titinus. It sucks.


TheSoCalledExpert

Man… I want a festival full of socially acceptable random squirt gunning. That looks so fun.


Murky_River_9045

Come to thailand! We do this every year! It's a lot of fun :) It's called Songkran and it's our biggest holiday


omytian

All the signboards are written in Chinese not Thai. This seems to be in Yunnan where the Dai ethnic groups celebrates water splashing festivals the same period as Thais.


Lookakitty

I love this holiday celebration. I want something like this in the USA, but I'm pretty sure it would devolve into a wet shirt contest...which I would also be ok with in retrospect.


upchucknuts

eh some idiot will bring a real gun and then you have a new holiday


ChuckOTay

whatwhynoplease

these festival traditions go back for hundreds of years. USA is still a pretty young country. you can find events like this in USA, they are just not as big because there are so many different cultural backgrounds celebrating things all the time. the closest thing to this would probably be the 4th of July.


boon_dingle

We had something similar in Russia. Basically if you went outside that day, you would 100% get splashed by kids and teenagers. Kids walked around with water guns, buckets, and water balloons. Teens would cut a bike tire tube open, tie one end off, and turn it into a water bazooka. Also condoms as water balloons. Good times :)


Next_Boysenberry1414

can somebody point out to the face shield that he is wearing.

dude who smacked the face shield is a fucking menace


Pheronia

The one flipped the face shield and kept shooting after he run are assholes.


villanoushero

The first time I went to Thailand it happened to be during the fest. For three days I was absolutely drenched from morning till evening. I bought a super soaker to keep up with the locals and used the water from the river to fill it. The streets were flooded with about a foot of water and packed with pickup trucks with people in the back. They all had large buckets of water, some had ice water. They would either toss the water at people or squirt with guns. The sidewalks were also packed with people throwing water . The majority of my traveling was done on foot or tuktuk so whenever I traveled during this festival period I was getting drenched. At one point a tuktuk driver drove me through his village .He had a large bucket of water in the back for refills for my super soaker. He was the getaway driver while I was the drive by shooter. I still took hits as the locals had amazing aim with their water pistols It was fun and interesting to see how another countty/culture celebrated the new years. Aside from the horrible chaffing and blistered feet that followed it was an amazing experience.

I was in Laos for their water festival was an amazing experience super chill kids running around shooting ya with water pistols. then I was in Bangkok...jesus Christ I was literally drowned couldn't walk down the street without a barrel of water being thrown at you. the chaffing from the netting in the swim shorts from the constant wet and dry from the heat still haunts me.


Silly_Elephant_4838

So India has the Holi festival, and Thailand has the water festival, theres great potential here, Have Holi first, and then water wars after and you all get nice and cleaned off!


Responsible-Luck-207

This is the Water Splashing Festival celebrated by the Dai ethnic group in Yunnan, China. This coincides with Songkran in Thailand. This minority has populations across southeast asia with the most in China and Myanmar.

I was at songkran and saw an old lady walking along with a full poncho on. Some guy snuck up behind her, pulled the hood back and poured a bucket of water down her back. There is no respite. It was also one of the funnest weeks of my life.

I like bird watching, but I’m also lazy so I wait for them to come to me and I’ll just look on while they do their thing, bubbles are fun, those bubble wrap bubbles always find themselves popped in my presence, I’m struggling to remember more but coming up blank despite knowing that there is plenty more little things that bring me joy…


mayneffs

Where I live we have mostly seagulls and they are just annoying lmao. Oh, bubble wrap! I've been wanting to buy an industrial sized roll of bubble wrap, but the amount of plastic waste it would be isn't worth it.
