Backpackers joined in with water fights to mark the start of the Songkran new year festival in Thailand today.

Footage shows the travelers blasting splashing around on the island of Koh Tao - also known as 'death island' - on Wednesday afternoon April 13.

Songkran started this year on April 13 and lasts for three days. Locals traditionally throw water over friends, relatives and passers-by for good luck. However, officials have banned organized alcohol-fuelled mass water-throwing parties this year due to the current Covid-19 pandemic.
