Worst holiday ever! Songkran sucks. The thais are insufferable with the water play, and farang are worst. It's just an excuse for thais to assault farang and get away with it.

Right. Getting filthy water mixed with talcum power in your eyes is a fun holiday. Just a little water play. Oh, and retards will be throwing water on moving vehickes and motorbikes. Just a SH!T time to be in Thailand. 

Literally nothing cultural left in this crapholiday.

You are the life of every party, I assume?!

Haha, that's done it, ten years in Thailand and he starts making sense, time to leave, oh my Buddha.

It has occurred to me that the PM must be reading TVF. Thus, he heard us speak and knew we were right.

Welcome aboard Mr Prime Minister.

Stay tuned for more FREE advice.

I best go see a doctor tomorrow.

Maybe he just did not want to spend an extra two days with his family ? (or they with him)

We have had no water for 3 weeks

Which is a tragedy for someone called Fishtank. You kind of lose your raison d'etre. My sympathies.

Only if you live in a farang ghetto. I guess 90% of foreigners have never experienced traditional Songkran.

If we don’t get any serious rain before Songkran, what’s the betting it either gets cancelled or severe water restrictions placed on it. Definitely no chance of an extension

Songkran will never be cancelled. The water fights maybe, but Songkran....never. Songkran has been around a lot longer than the handful of whining westerners have.

Hey let's cancel Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year's Day too. I'm sure the new foreigners in Europe would totally support that.

Best if they shortened it and made it just a parents and elders day.  Go home show your appreciation and then back to work.

I tend to hibernate through this period, I hate it - do a quick trip to the temple and thats it.... People these days are filling the pistols with all sorts from feacal matter and urine to name but a few, plus pickpockets a plenty. Addionally drink driving increasing to mid blowing levels so my bike is locked away - its a free for all with so many hit and runs -- enjoy at your peril and take care as your life literally depends on it.

Sanity - a commodity in short supply, but sometimes it prevails.

Prayuth you are my hero!

Good decision for once..... ????????????

Yes indeed, common sense, with severe drought conditions in many Provinces throughout Thailand.

Extending Songkran is a boy scout idea to solve a serious problem. Are there any competent government officials or policy-makers?

 

How about some common sense, non-nationalistic economic policies like reducing input tariffs and barriers so that there is more price competition, and prices are not artificially stupidly high on many goods?

Edited February 19, 20206 yr by Ketyo

Good decision

Lack of water !

Yes  it is exciting watching Thais get <deleted> out of their minds and throwing water about  2 days would of been enough  Half the idiots throwing water dont even know what songran means but its a great excuse not to go to work. We all know how much thais love going to work dont we?

Well they have made the right decision  they may have saved a few lives that may have been lost on the highways on those extra days ... 

How many deaths would have happened on Thai roads for 2 extra days? It's not worth it!
