April is the hottest month in Thailand; the Songkran festival is very famous for all Thai people to relieve the heat. The throwing of water originated as a way to pay respect to people, by capturing the water after it had been poured over the Buddhas for cleansing and then using this "blessed" water to give good fortune to elders and family by gently pouring it on the shoulder.
