Elephants soak passers-by ahead of
boisterous Thai holiday of Songkran
SONGKRAN SOAKING. With assistance from mahouts, elephants blow water from their trunks at tourists on a motor-tricycle, or Tuk Tuk, at Songkran, or the ancient Thai New Year celebration, in Ayutthaya province, central
Thailand. The festival — which is also celebrated in neighboring Myanmar, Cambodia, and Laos — falls at the hottest time of the year, when temperatures often creep above 104 degrees Fahrenheit. See story on page 4. Locally
in Portland, the third annual Cambodian/Lao/Thai/Burmese “New Year in the Park” takes place Saturday, April 29 from 9:30am to 6:00pm at Glenhaven Park in northeast Portland. See an event listing for the celebration on page
