Boater Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 Hi With Songkarn just around the corner, does anyone know what day it is starting in Koh Samui ? For the last 3 years, it has always kicked off on a different day to the year before, and also the time length? tx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NALAK Posted April 6, 2008 Share Posted April 6, 2008 my experience is of soi reggae last year started about 9pm on the 12th, year before they tried to start on the 12th but the poice stopped it. always full on for the 13th always stopped by 14th. this year the goverment are taking a stong line on it so i would expect it to be just the 13th. only my experience of the last few years maybe diffent in other areas of the island Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

breezein Posted April 10, 2008 Share Posted April 10, 2008 Songkram last year started in the afternoon at Soi Green Mango and was full on until the bars closed. This year will be the same with the Thais joining in on the 13th. After the 13th you can smack anyone in the mouth that soaks you. The Thai way of celebrating is great just a sprinkle of water and some talcum powder but as usual the farangs come along and ruin it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Wolfe Posted April 11, 2008 Share Posted April 11, 2008 Some kids will open their presents the night before (on the 12th) so expect a few errant sprays in the evening. The 13th is the full-on water day. The day after, everyone is dry again, no pun intended. "Mark" my words.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoorSucker Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 (edited) And we know here to stay away from.... Hope none gets electrocuted from water thrown on stage. The neighbors might like it though. Edited March 13, 2009 by PoorSucker Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rooo Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Wow that is great, a real experience of Thai culture with internarional DJ"s & from 6pm when the official water throwing stops. & wonder how they will get around alcohol ban (if it comes into effect),oh I forgot, no problem, this is Samui not Thailand. Poor Samui, is it ever going to get a break? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheSnap Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 How is that party going to differ from the two or three other all-night parties held in the same location every month? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattCinderey Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Songkran is the best day of the year. I love it. It's such good fun!.... The past 3 years I've never had so much fun. I guess it appeals to my inner-child... 8 ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birdman Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Songkran is the most needless day of the year. I don't care at all. It's such a brutal mess coming from a nice tradition!.... The past 23 years I've had so much fun on all the other days. I guess it does not appeal to my inner-child... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
