Songkran Chiang Mai, April 13th, 2011

Usual mayhem in the water throwing festival.

Here Danny on his Yamaha TR with pump powered helmet water guns, very ingenious

Alex testing the waterproof-ness of his GoPro helmet cam during Songkran, look to the right across the moat and the craziness


 
Tragic end to the Songkran festival

Apparently, an inebriated thai gentleman swimming in the moat has disappeared, presumed drowned. Police divers are searching for him now in the moat in Chiang Mai. Sad end to the festival.

Divers have moved north on the moat and turning west still no sign of the body

Lets hope its a false alarm

fantastic views of the moat- an ultrawide lens?


Panasonic LX5 with macro wide angle lens attached --- well spotted.


HEARING FALSE ALARM IN THE END - THEY WERE PRETTY SURE HE WAS DOWN THERE
