BANGKOK, 9 April 2019 (NNT) - People are shopping for varied kits to play with water such as water pistols and waterproof bags in Sampeng-Yaowarat area during a current holiday ahead of the upcoming Songkran festival, though this year has not seen so many shoppers as in previous years.

 

Our news crew have surveyed Sampeng and Yaowarat areas where many people have come to buy kits for Songkran festival.

 

According to vendors, the best-selling items include Thailand-made waterproof bags which sell by the dozen for 100 to 150 baht, followed by China-made waterproof bags with cartoon characters and small-sized plastic backpacks which sell for 30 baht each.

At Big C you could find one spray for 59 baht, and it even connects to the wall outlet.

Continious action.

With testing in water tanks too.

 

Bought a couple of defective ones a few times.  Sucks when you get there and your new watergun is useless!

Hopefully while they play with the water guns, they won't be driving and thus less fatalities on the road.....let's dream a bit !

What do they do with the ones they bought last year ? 

Same with blankets given to the poor in a rare cold snap.

I have never caught anyone actually doing it but I can only think that they eat them ??
