For me it is difficult to stay indoors at this time of year as there are so many festivals and events. This morning I was down in Bangsaen on the beach to take photos of the Mon Songkran Festival. I came back for about an hour then I went out to take pictures of a water splashing ceremony for the monks in a local temple. That was brutally hot as it was held in the sun (though a cooler 38 Celsius in the shade now as it is after 5 p.m.). I will have to take a quick shower then out again to take pictures at a Miss Songkran Beauty Contest. This weekend I am just as busy with events. At least I can drive between them in an air-conditioned car. However, when you are taking pictures you cannot always stand in the shade!
