A traditional Songkran activity was held at Sriracha Tiger Zoo on Saturday.  Organised by Chonburi Administration, VIPs joined members of the public in a symbolic ceremony called Gong Kao.  People were invited to bring along food and rice to ceremoniously lay out on the ground in the hope of appeasing the spirits.  Afterwards everyone joined in a colourful parade with the aim to take away bad luck for all attending.
