Songkran 2019

[kajito]

I'm living in Hua Hin can I expect a bucket of water over my head during the Songkran Festival or being blasted by a water gun or is that mostly in the north?

Well, yes, you'll get free showers.
The big day will be the 13th and some festivities will take place on the forecourt of MARKET VILLAGE.
But this is going well and the police are very present.

It's pretty relaxed in Hua Hin. If you don't want to get splashed it is easy to avoid the water throwing. 

 

There will probably be organised events outside Blu Port and Market Village on the 13th. The main area at Songkran is alway around Soi Bintabaht and down near the Hilton. If you stay away from there, you'll easily be able to stay dry.

 

Also, the water throwing normally only lasts one day in Hua Hin, maybe two at most. There is not the week long celebrations like you see elsewhere.

[sirocco]

But no but no.
See at least once the mood of songkran.
Just put a mac that is sold everywhere and brave the elements "raging".
Bravery.

I live in Hua Hin and it's safe to assume that you will get wet.  

 

Songkran day is my birthday and I lock myself in my condo and don't go outside because I hate the water so much.  I do birthday things once the water is all gone.

You live in Hua Hin, have no real idea what the weekends activities entail, one reply

says it's fairly low key, yet you decide to stay home anyway.

 

Go outside and live a little, who knows you may even have some fun.

 

Don't let a few grumpy old men on the internet rule your life. If it is all too

much for you, then go home.

be careful in the Bintabaht bar area at night.

 

many drunk young Thai males there specifically looking for trouble with Farangs.

When I say go home, I mean your residence in Hua Hin, not your country of origin.

I'm not one of those guys!

I don't mean to beat up on you but you're saying to me that to live a little I should go out and get sprayed by dirty water, because you enjoy it everyone else has to, is that what passes for fun these days? Do you know me, have you ever met me, how can you say that I don't live and have fun because I don't live life on your terms are you that arrogant? BTW how do you know that the few who replied are old and grumpy why are you old and grumpy do YOU want to rule my life? I post a simple question hoping for a simple answer and I get a moral lecture from a big dope like you.
