Thai tuk-tuk passengers cower in terror from a barrage of water-gun attacks during Songkran.

Through all three days of water fights, the position you see above was the default posture of terror among tuk-tuk passengers. Strangely, Thais know it's Songkran, yet, inconceivably, they still choose to take an open-air tuk-tuk instead of a closed taxi.

Foreign tourists suffer heavy casualties in their tuk-tuk during Songkran.

Tourists, on the other hand, don't know any better about which transportation to take. Many come to Bangkok even without the knowledge that a festival is ongoing. They find out soon enough why they should've taken the fully enclosed taxi instead of a tuk-tuk.
