Wow lighten up guys, Rog, Geir, ATM, MWM can see you guys do not like it but wow every other post on a couple of threads is you guys moaning, we know you don't like it or you'd be here enjoying it like the rest of us!!!
Its mainly 2 or 3 days of water fighting, there are elements of danger as the statistics show, they have tried this year to keep these to a minimum, stopping traffic, giving out leaflets of do' and don'ts, threatening fines if non complying. Ice buckets on motorcyclists is dangerous and should be fineable offence, just do not go out on a bike in area's you know you'll get water at you or if you do drive very slowly.
Its a celebration for Thai New Year, hoping to get the rains to come. Its country wide and enjoyed by Thais as much as Farang. This will be my 4th Songkhran. I do not partake for all 3 days just the final day and then only for the afternoon, enjoying having a few beers, getting soaked, laughing at all the funny things happening on Bangla and sharing the fun with a load of friends.
hopefully many others enjoy the unique experience that is the Thai New Year.
