AussieBob18 Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 (edited) If they used clean filtered bottle water, I would love it. But they dont. One day in the city (CM) we saw them filling buckets and guns from the moat - we stayed home for that one, and everyone thereafter. At best they are filled form local water taps - would you drink that stuff? You supporters of the water 'sharing' do know that water can transmit infections like cholera and viruses like Covid right? Stay locked up with no complaints because of a bad flu virus - but accept dirty/**** water being thrown over you and in the face - interesting logic.

BigStar Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 This is pretty funny. No Songkran this year to bash, but we missed bashing it so much, we have a bashing thread anyway. But I agree w/ OP. Songkran's been great this year. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OnTheGround Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 We just relieve some boredom, our present mundane life, lockdown, stay home, curfew. Songkran are postponed to a later date. We are a few who pray that later date mean next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thailand Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 I suppose if people don't like it in the future they could stay home for a couple of days as your host country celebrate their new year, getting plenty of practice in at the moment so should not be difficult.

Thank you! I’ve been living here for the better part of a decade now and it’s like this every year. Some farungs apparently think they are too good to go out and get a little wet on Songkran ????.

johng Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Today 19th is the traditionally best/worst water throwing day in Pattaya "Wun Lai" I wonder if there is a single person throwing water this year ? ???? My Thai family have only done the traditional "bless the oldies with a sprinkle of water" even the kids are not playing with water..just staying indoors on their phones !!!!!!

Cricky Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Sad in a way. Way too many days here in Pattaya but I do enjoy mingling on beach road with the beautiful girls half naked and wet, it’s got an erotic factor. The only good was the water wastage, we didn’t have any water, the reservoirs were dry, probably would have had to truck the water in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OJAS Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 (edited) As far as I am concerned, nothing can beat that annual ritualistic nonsense which takes place overnight between 31st December and 1st January for insufferability, not even Songkran. And, unfortunately, there's no escaping it wherever we choose to find ourselves on this great planet of ours either!
