Sorry but what a load of old tosh! The Thais have been celebrating Songkran this way for decades, foreigners joining in for the ride. Places like Pattaya are the extreme but are merely following their lead. It’s the boring old fuddy duddies (farang and dinosaur leadership here) that would want to stop people having some fun. 

This year, water guns will be replaced wwith submachine guns. Enjoy!

The people should be able to have fun as long as they don't annoy people who don't want to participate. And here the problem starts. And obviously it is very funny for the water fighters to annoy exactly such people. And this has to be stopped. There need to be zones were people who love these water games can do what they want without annoying other people.

In Banglok they would close off several streets for just that reason. Folks could party all along Silom road, at Lumpini Park, and around Central world, but it always turned into a big CF. Khao San was another CF

Songkran was ruin and spoiled by Farang and their take on the celebrations.

It's true.  Thailand was a calm and tranquil place before the evil White man came and brought corruption, prostitution an bad driving with him. :cheesy:
