Pattaya's Songkran used to start the day after Bangkok finished so one could spend the Bangkok Songkran days in Pattaya, then Pattaya's in Bangkok. Not long before 2010, largely because expats wanted an excuse to party even more, blasting ice water using water cannons from their bar stools, the division began to blur til it got to what it is now: starting when Bangkok starts and ending about  10 days later.

Naw! Pattaya started their own "Songkran" in the late nineties to attract warm bodies the weekend after it ended elsewhere, back then Pattaya was incredibly quite - pleasantly so, desperate act to bring people in - surprisingly it worked - the Bangkok masses swarmed ????

Those of you enjoying songkran in you pick up trucks be aware that there is usually a large tanker parked on Sukhumwit ready to fill up your drums...Written on the side of this big tanker are the words [in english]..

'Emty you tilet'...and a phone number....

Is it safe to do outdoor activities tomorrow ? I'm planning to bicycle from Naklua to Jomtien. And I want to stay dry!
