Also has anyone gotten sick from getting a mouthful of water from when they get dowsed with water during Songkran?

A few years ago I was in Phuket for pretty much all of April.
About 5 days before Songkran, I started to see large squirt-guns for sale everywhere. About two days before, I was squitrted by some little kid once in a while. The day before, I got squirted two or three times. Then, the actual day came. If you don't want to get wet and all messed up, just stay in your room and read a book during the day. By 9PM all the comotion was pretty much over. In retrospect, it might be fun to go out and get soaked.
