Jyoti’s Trip To Thailand
Phoenix Commons resident Jyoti began her tour of Southeast Asia with a splashdown into the Songkran festival celebrating the Thai New Year in Bangkok. The holiday is known for its water festival, during which major streets are closed to traffic and used as arenas for water fights. Celebrants, young and old, participate in this tradition by splashing water on each other.
