Thailand’s military government is putting a dampener on the annual nationwide water fight. Despite Thailand’s worst drought in 20 years, the junta says it has no intention of limiting the virtually around-the-clock water throwing that defines the three-day Songkran festival. Instead, it has decided to impose morality measures.(AP Photo/Apichart Weerawong, File)
