Songkran in Phuket

Hello there,

In 15 days Songkran in Los. I heard Songkran celabrations takes in Chiang Mai more than 10 days. But how is Songkran in Phuket ... just 3 days and really worth? As many tourists as with old an newyear?

Best regards,

Hagi

Been to Songkran in Chiang Mai and they splash it for a week.
Patong it's officially only on one day 13 of April, although some on Soi Bangla seems to think that this is not enough and might try and stretch it for a day or two more!

that's true

ok maybe it were 4 days, but i do remember my tgf went up to 2 guys and told them they had to stop playing with water 'cause songkran was finished. They thought she was joking and wanted to spray water on here... mistake. She got angry and started shouting at them. Kinda funny, those two guys were tall body building type of guys and this 1m55 thai lady chased them away. Lucky for me it didn't got ugly, I'm not really a hero

Although Phuket is just 1 day of water festivities you can guarantee there will be some knob head lager louts in Bangla that buy water cannons and piss everyone off 2 or 3 days before...

Just a word of advice....dont spray a LB with a water gun as you'll likely get a right hook !! Saw an Aussie guy last year 2 days before Songkran who sprayed whitney the monster with a water gun she proceeded to beat the cr@p out of him.... made for great entertainment but was a scary sight

Thats a scary thought mate.... getting a LB angry ... i would rather face 4 blokes than 1 LB...

What would you do??? You cant hit them back because its like your hitting a girl but when they are hitting you it like a blokes hitting you....

You and Witney would make a great match Paul 555555

Probably fill Bangla Boxing Arena twice over.

Witney put on a great show the other evening opposite Dingo's. Finished by raising two bar stools in each hand above her head 55555

Good Luck though 555

In Patong it has always been 12-13 April as long I lived here, with 13th being the days when all Thai families and cars being out on the roads.

12th also the day Soi Eric used to close for just one night. (Havent heard anything this year buy has been the case the last few years)
