This is my first event for the morning of 13th April about an hour ago. Hundreds of local people came together in Samut Prakan to make merit for Songkran by giving alms to monks and pouring water over Buddha images and the hands of their elders.

Tomorrow I will be taking pictures of some more traditional Thai activities during Songkran. This is building sand pagodas in the temple. I will also try and locate a temple that is doing "song nam phra" which is pouring water on monks.

As usual, follow me on Twitter where I will be posting pictures live during the day. Also check out my moblog which I also post from the field: www.mythailandblog.com.

Thai people go to their local temple during Songkran to take part in a ceremony called "song nam phra" where they pour water on the monks and novices. At this temple there were 450 monks and novices!
