I don't know much about Thai new year. What are some traditions for the day, and what foods are good for eating on new years?

Well, Thai new year is on the 13 April of each year, the day when the sun move to another year, this year is the year of the dog. Thai traditional calendar is solar calendar so our new year is a bit late than Chinese new year.

It's usually also the hottest time of the year (it's hot like hell now XD) Actually we don't have spacial food for the day but spacial events :D Thais families will come visit their hometown and pour perfume-water on the hands of their family's elders. That is to say gratitude for those elders who raised them. Then they will go to temples where bones of their ancestors were kept to clean and pray for them.

In these days it is also a Water Festival. People will splash water to other. All roads will be wet, people will drive pick up trucks and play water-war. It likes all town go crazy with water. :D I think you can find some pics in google.

But for me, I don't like that kind of water-war so I will stay home tomorrow XD just focus to my family. Interested to come visit? :D :D

Sounds like a nice holiday! Thank you for the explanation. If I ever get the chance to visit that side of the world I'll let you know.
