On the first day it is traditional for Thais to clean their house in preparation for the year ahead. The 2nd day is given over to the preparation of food and special meals to be consumed over the coming days. The third day is the start of the Thai New Year.
On the third day, it is marked by religious ceremonies which usually take place early in the morning. Come the afternoon, it's time for the water fights which rage through the streets during which everybody, including tourists, are targets. The day is celebrated all over the country with various special events and attractions.
