Lost in LOS Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 I am trying to avoid being here for Sonkran. I won't fare well with agressive people in my face throwing water at me. I am trying to find out the start and finish since I keep getting different opinions. I understand from some it will last 3 days and from others it will last 2 weeks. Can anyone tell me the approximate range so i can book a plane and be out of country at the time. I live in Jomtien if that is a factor thanks in advance Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bendix Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 (edited) I'm with Jimmy on this. I'll be booking a fast plane out of Thailand that week. The traditional and respectful sprinkling I can live with, and really like. The full-scale water wars I can live without, particularly when it's done by drunk farang and their yabba-d up bar girl conquest from the night before who think it's all a bit of fun. It aint.

Lite Beer Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Same here. Fun for a couple of hours, but it gets a bit tedious. Lots of drunken idiots trying to knock you off your motorbike. I will be staying in doors for a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buriramboy Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 unlike bangkok which i can put up with where songkran is just 3 days, songkran in pattaya/jomtien lasts for a week and you are basically a prisoner in your own house during the daytime for the week, it is just too bloody dangerous to ride a motorbike and even a short trip in a car will take hours. Like many others i head over to Angeles for the week. Good luck BB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
