mikeymike100 Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 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? 2

Popular Post HauptmannUK Posted April 12, 2023 Popular Post Posted April 12, 2023 I haven't been out yet but my wife says there will be no water throwing today. She's actually right about most things, so I'll be going out later with no fear of getting wet. 5
ozimoron Posted April 12, 2023 Posted April 12, 2023 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. 1

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. Quote 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. Quote When is Songkran? The Songkran festival is the traditional Thai New Year's Day and is celebrated from April 13th to April 15th. Quote https://www.officeholidays.com/holidays/thailand/songkran-festival 1

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!

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! 1

Pattaya starts unofficially on 13th and if you live out Ban Amphur way like I do, goes on until 21st. I don't care what the official line is. 2 1
