Hi guys, it’s Rodd here.<\/p>\n

Since my favourite time of year has come, this time\u00a0I thought I would give you a few synonyms for getting wet.<\/p>\n

\u300c\u305a\u3076\u6fe1\u308c\u300d\u306e\u3044\u308d\u3093\u306a\u82f1\u8a9e\u8868\u73fe\u3092\u5b66\u307c\u3046\uff01<\/h2>\n

A synonym is of course a word that has a similar meaning to another word, and the phrase “very wet” has quite a few synonyms, I have highlighted them in bold<\/strong>\u00a0type below for you, so let’s go!<\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

\u30bf\u30a4\u65e7\u6b63\u6708\u306e\u304a\u795d\u3044<\/h2>\n

From April 12th(New Year’s Eve), it will be the Thai new year over here in Thailand.<\/p>\n

It is most famous for its huge water fights which go for days on end. \u00a0It is the hottest time of year now and as I write this, I am sitting in 37 degrees of heat, so the thought of getting\u00a0soaked\u00a0<\/strong>is most welcome right about now.<\/p>\n

Normally I head into town and arm myself with the biggest water gun I can find. \u00a0I team up with friends and some beers and walk around the streets\u00a0drowning\u00a0<\/strong>absolutely everyone within range.<\/p>\n

Scenes like the one below are not uncommon and as you can see everyone is getting absolutely\u00a0sopping!<\/strong><\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

There are special cases you can put around your neck for your phone and money so they don’t get\u00a0sodden\u00a0<\/strong>as well. Convenience store floors are water logged\u00a0<\/strong>as are any bars you sit in.<\/p>\n

Even for the police there is no mercy as you can see in this photo… as you can see he is drenched<\/strong> just as much as everyone else.<\/p>\n\"\"\n

 <\/p>\n

\u30bf\u30a4\u306e\u4f1d\u7d71\u884c\u4e8b\u304b\u3089\u304d\u305f\u6c34\u639b\u3051\u796d\u308a<\/h2>\n

The origins of this one week of fun and getting absolutely soused<\/strong> and wringing wet <\/strong>can be found in the meaning of New Year and gently washing away your previous years sins or bad luck as in the picture below…<\/p>\n\"\"\n

It has morphed into a countrywide celebration of people getting\u00a0saturated <\/b>and doused.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

Basically it is the best fun I have ever had, and the best way I can explain it is like being a five year old again(a slightly tipsy five year old), armed with a very big water gun and some buckets. Everyone is laughing and with huge silly smiles on their faces.<\/p>\n

A very happy time indeed – I can’t wait!<\/p>\n
