Songkran Water Fest

[Dr. Wasabi 0]

Songkran water festival sounds great. But a four day water fight doesn’t sound that great. I’d like a day of water fight and then get to someplace quieter. Any suggestions (like chaing mai for a day then head north?) What will it be like in Pattaya?

Hot and wet. The water fest is nation wide.

Until you experience Songkran, you have not had a good time. It's only 5 or 6 hours during the day when it is HOT. Go and enjoy the girls in their wet t-shirts, etc.

 

Walk around Soi7/8, Beach Rd. and Second Rd. and watch the fun and be part of it. IMHO, Songkran is a blast.

I've only experienced 2 days of Songkran and that was enough . Next April, I'll be getting out of Pattaya for the duration.

Don't be such a shower of wet blankets.

I involved myself in the last two days of Sonkran last year and had a ball. The real pain in the arse is the drunken falangs who start 4 days earlier than that and seem to search you out if you are carrying a camera, phone etc...

gs joe,

 

Songkran is April 13th, 14th and 15th, and after that the water will slow down a little (very little) for the next few days. On April 19 it will go into full swing again, and that should be the last day.
