Footage shows children in rural Thailand marking the start of the country’s songkran new year celebrations - by throwing water in passers-by.

The festival sees people across the water embark on water fights - a tradition stemming from being sprinkled with water for good luck.

Tourists take part in the activity in popular tourist cities like Bangkok and Chiang Mai.

While in rural regions youngsters line the roadsides where they use bowls and water guns to soak passing vehicles and moped riders.

The songkran new year festival started today and culminates on Sunday.
