Happy new year from Owlie in Chiang Mai. This picture was taken at Sunday night Walking Street market (even though it was more like Walking-but-mostly-standing-still market today - it was so crowded!). The new year is a very important time for many Thais to make merit. They believe that by bathing this statue of Buddha with water, among other things, they will gain merit, good karma and blessing for the year to come.
