It is a week long celebration where people splash each other with water. It is believed that by splashing water, blessings are poured on to that person. Since it is also the hottest time of the year in Thailand, many people really enjoy it. Lots of tourists flock to Thailand during this time of the year and enjoy splashing water to each other.
