Pattaya, Chon Buri, Thailand - April 13, 2011: A Thai family standing on a pick up truck is splashing water on people on another passing pick up car during Songkran festival at Jomtien Beach in Pattaya. Songkran is the annual traditional Thai new year festival. It is celebrated from 13 to 15 April depending on the location. The throwing of water is part of the celebration and originated as a way to pay respect to people but nowadays it has escalated into street fights with water pump guns and hoses.
