Many years ago they clamped-down on Songkhran "water-activities" in Bangkok, it had become a real pain in the a*se.

An old Thai guy (now late 70's) told me how when he was a kid Songkhran was 1 day, and sprinkles of water, rather than buckets of ice cold water over a 3 or 4 day period, as it had become.

Lots of wizened old expats'll just show up in their usual attire then!???? (And 70's mullet hairdos!).
