Songkran starts on the 13th, tomorrow officially, but I understand the 19th is the BIG day in Pattaya?

So from tomorrow if you go out, be prepared to get wet?

April 12 is the first day, AFAIK. 

 

I'm not going out today.

Oooh be careful out there. there's a wet patch on corner of Soi6 and 2nd Rd.

Probably just a Soi dog issue though.

Don't worry, there will be plenty of reports from irate wet people, whether in this topic or others.

I'm headed out now to stock up on food for the hibernation week. On 16th driving to Bangkok with mates to go see the Van Gogh exhibition at ICONSIAM. That should get me away from the water fights for a couple of days, hopefully. Except for staying in soi Nana.

Correct, but Pattaya take it as its the first day there too?

The 19 th is the main day in Pattaya!

Incorrect. Songkran is now fixed.

The date was originally set by astrological calculations, but it is now fixed on 13 April. The festival may be extended if some of the celebrations fall over a weekend.

When is Songkran?

It’s official, Pattaya’s Songkran Day on April 19th, The Biggest and Wettest Party of the Year, Returns

I'm not sure if I can link to the 'Pattaya News', I mean if its allowed, but that's where the quote is from!

The GF threw some water at me this morning as I was trying to clean up her (messy) dressing table.

 My missus has a very messy mirrored make up unit. Never cleans or tidies it. Never throws out empty make up compacts, lippies, you name it there'll be an empty one there. So you aren't the only one!

 

You were lucky it was only water! When really riled my missus throws anything near to hand, fortunately no knives yet!
