A few photo's of one of the Tai Yai ghost/ spirit festivals that are held at Sripoom Corner periodically. There seems to be about 3 or 4 of these festivals annually.

I've heard that they have a festival period where they chuck water left, right and center in Chiang Mai - is this part of that?

No the water (ice, powder, etc,) throwing happens during the celebration of the traditional New Year (Songkran) from about 13-17 April each year. Similar things you will find in Laos, Cambodia, Myanmar, etc.

and here (pity that most of the pictures have disappeared for reasons unknown): Seriously-how-bad-will-over-songkran

Ha ha ha...right. Well that picture can really give some other associations :RE

Thanks
