Popular Post djayz Posted August 31, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted August 31, 2020 (edited) Highly unlikely. So, if it's water and splashing you're in search of, then you might want to consider taking a soapy bubble bath.

josephbloggs Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 No. These are just replacement holidays, they are not recreating Songkran. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have replaced a few Songkran days already with no water being splashed. I dont think anyone is thinking or cares about water. Water at Songkran goes hand in hand with people going to see their families and the general holiday atmosphere. A couple of extra days in September when people have no money, many are out of work, i very much doubt for most it will be a 'holiday' 'party' atmosphere. You must be a barrel of laughs.

holy cow cm Posted August 31, 2020 Share Posted August 31, 2020 I thought the tossing of water had temporarily made against the law since CV19 emergency restrictions kicked in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One granddaughter will not come for the weekend. These extra holidays on short notice just make a lot of confusion. As above: no water festival, no mass gatherings/parades etc. Songkran in September, like Christmas in May. No water splashing in empty Soi's in Pattaya. Remember: it's still state of emergency, closing hour at midnight etc. Edited September 1, 2020 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the last 2 public holidays (during Songkran) that are replaced. Do you think they can move a thai new year celebration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will there be lots of water? Its a 2 day [Mon/Fri] extension holiday in lieu if days lost due to Covid during the month of April.... It is not Songkran, there will be no water, or other Songkran related actiivities. There is still in place an emergency decree which stipulates no large gatherings.
