Siam Rath reported from Khao San Road yesterday in the Thai capital Bangkok.

 

Even though it was a day ahead of the road closure for Songkran water fights that start today, Thai and foreign tourists were getting in some practice.

Does that apply to Thais as well as visitors?

Question: Why is Songkran festival dangerous?

 

ChatGPT Answer:

 

Songkran festival, also known as the Thai New Year, can be dangerous because it involves a lot of water-throwing activities, which can lead to slippery roads and pools of water. This can cause accidents and injuries, especially if people are not careful while driving or walking around. In addition, some people may consume alcohol, which can impair their judgment and increase the risk of accidents. It's important to exercise caution and be aware of your surroundings during this festival to avoid any potential danger.

And don't trip down the stairs on the way out the door.

Ahhhh after three years of pandemic - just let people have fun without "No This!" and "No That!"

With that said, Mrs Connda and I have been to Big C and Makro to stock up and made a last run to 7-11 yesterday for snacks and we're hunkering down for the next week at home.

Everyone else?  Have fun and Happy Songkran!

I agree. Let people have fun and enjoy themselves, but I am also mostly staying in my room till Sunday. Water fight is not my thing. 

 

By the way, will tomorrow be okay to venture outside? For example, Nana area. Today is the last day of Songkran, but tomorrow is Sunday, so I was wondering if the water thing will continue tomorrow. Any thoughts? 

 

I will most probably take my risk anyway, and go out. I have been bored, being mostly in my room since Thursday morning.
