How to make Songkran powder

SONGKRAN
Old versus new at Thailand's Songkran Festival
Thai New Year has become a three-day, water-soaked street party, much to the chagrin of those who would prefer a return to the holiday's quieter religious and familial traditions.
Bangkok - Warm, wet and wild is the best way to describe Thailand’s Songkran Festival. Celebrated each year in mid-April, when the temperatures are at their hottest, Thai New Year is marked by a three-day, nationwide water fight, as people in every province drench one another with water guns and hoses, and smear white powder onto each other’s faces.
But among traditionalists, including some in the government, there is growing concern over Songkran’s wilder aspects, which includes heavy alcohol consumption and skimpy clothing.
"I think Songkran these days involves too much drinking, too many public displays of affection and too many obscene gestures," said 84-year-old Yisoon Laohateeranonda."I wish it was more traditional and family-oriented."
In response to such complaints, the government and local authorities have said they will ban revealing clothing, along with the sale and consumption of alcohol and high-pressure water guns in some areas. The Bangkok mayor’s office says it will enforce the bans in Silom, one of the most popular areas to celebrate in the Thai capital.

Songkran celebration (hardcore version)
Traditionally, Thai people celebrate the Thai New Year by sprinkling water on the elderly’s hands, visiting temples, and attending family reunions. But many younger Thais might prefer taking a more-festive approach, gathering at water-fight events or in the back of pickup trucks to ferociously splash water and rub din sor pong powder on strangers' faces and bodies. Many complain they also ride motorbikes without helmets and dance half-naked on the roadside. All in all, Songkran revellers believe the point of the holiday is to give blessings to each other.
