Locals and tourists are soaking wet as they spray water on each other with water guns along Bangkok's Khao San Road Thailand, April 13, 2009. The governor of Bangkok has canceled all Songkran (Thai New Year) activities hosted by City Hall after the government declared a state of emergency amid the worsening political turmoil. But many tourists and locals shrugged off the state of emergency declaration and embraced the traditional water-splashing activities with gusto. [CFP]
