There is pent up frustration from the past 2 years.  People want to let loose.  I bet it will b e a party like no other Pattaya 9 days of partying carnage.

Party carnage and covid deaths will definitely thin the heard a little here.

Yes, but where is the money in that?

The tradition and religion I witness around me is to get as pi##ed as possible, dance the days/nights away.

So Song Kran is a go, a no go, a go for only family events, no water splashing, no drinking, well 3 years without Song Kran isn't all that bad....but lets wait and see what actually occurs....Tried to book some places in the south over that week and everyone has doubled their prices, really silly....

Is Anutin supposed to obey his own rules that he spouts.  I would love nothing more than to see Songkran return to its original roots, but many including foreigners think it should be a uncontrolled water fight and full on party like the full moon parties...

Its such a shame that traditional Songkran has almost died out.

The original roots and traditions are very calm and gentle, vastly different than the commercialized mayhem we witness ever Year now.

Songkran tradition was overtaken by commercialism... it's now a free-for-all.

Same as Valentines Day, Hallowe’en, Christmas etc, it’s not about tradition it’s about commercialism.

ok let’s have Songkhran but keep it to specific areas instead of having to run the gauntlet of getting chilled cold water in your face when on your scooter, close of Beach Road and let them party there
