Every year on 13 April, which is New Year in Thailand, there is a water throwing festival. Young people run or drive through the streets with buckets of water or enormous waterguns and throw water at anybody they see. So, if you don’t want to get wet, don’t stand in the street. Participants must follow three important rules. Firstly, they mustn’t throw water at old people. Secondly, they mustn’t touch people. Thirdly, they mustn’t throw water at car drivers. Every year people get killed or injured in road accidents during the festival. Some people are concerned about the number of casualties and want to ban the festival.
