If you're strolling along a street in Thailand this Sunday to Tuesday, don't be surprised if a perfect stranger drenches you with water despite the obvious fact that you're not on fire.
This is Songkran, the traditional Thai New Year, and it culminates in a nationwide water fight. Water is a symbol of happiness and purity in the Kingdom, and what better way to mark the end of the dry season and the start of the rains than by chucking water on your fellow man or woman?
Are you in Thailand for the Songkran Water Festival? Have you been in previous years? We would love to see your photographs, videos and experiences. We'll include the best submissions in a gallery on the Guardian site. Please bear in mind that we need parental permission for photos of under 16s, so do make that explicit in the text when you submit them.
You can share your Songkran photos, videos and stories with GuardianWitness by clicking on the blue 'Contribute' button, or if you're out and about you can download the free GuardianWitness app for smartphones. We will publish the most interesting submissions on the Guardian site.
