The New Near being from 13 April and end on 15 April. We called this festival “ Songkran which is happening in the hottest month of year and the dry season. The temperature could reach to 40 C ,because of the heat has made people throwing water to each other to cool them down. The street will be full of young people throwing water between them. The truck filled up with container of water and then people on the truck just throw the water to passing by as they driving along the road. This is very fun for the young boy mostly.
