Watch : Three embassies post lively "Happy Songkran" videos
Three embassies have joined the Songkran fun by producing lively, colourful video clips to wish Thais a happy Songkran day.
The clips, produced by the Chinese, German and US embassies, depict members of staff in bright costumes performing traditional Thai dance, spraying each other with water or generally enjoying themselves.
