Packing for a wet and wild festival
This April, I am going to be in Thailand, just in time for the Water Festival! This festival celebrates the start of the traditional Thai new year. It sounds fun, but I need to pack the right things for it.
During this festival, people throw water at each other. They use buckets, hoses and even water guns. So, I will bring my own water gun for sure. I will also bring balloons to fill with water and make “water balls” to throw for fun.
The festival lasts a few days. Since I am going to get wet every day, I should bring lots of T-shirts and shorts with me. I also need plastic shoes.
One more thing: I need to bring a waterproof bag for my phone and wallet. Otherwise, they will get very wet. With these items, I think I will be ready for the festival!
