Hi Stephanie,

I hope you’re doing great as always!

I was thinking of you earlier today since I can barely wait for you to come visit my home country, Thailand, next year. Regarding that, I’d like to propose a new fun idea to move up your trip to around 13-15 February instead, since there’ll be Songkran.

Songkran is Thailand’s biggest New Year festival where locals and tourists come to celebrate. During Songkran, we usually visit temples and gather together for massive water fights using buckets, hoses, and obviously water guns! You don’t need to worry about bringing a water gun because I’ll prepare you one. All you have to do is bring a bright or floral clothing to wear for the water fights. I promise you it’ll be anything unlike you’ve experienced.

Other than that, there’ll also be street parades, music, dancing, and night markets everywhere. Since you’re a foodie, I’ll also introduce you to Thai local food that I know you’ll very much enjoy and become your personal tour guide to take you to every destination you want. This will be such an unforgettable experience for you.

See you next year,

Mary
