Someone please tell me it has. I darent go into the city in case it hasn't. Has it finished in Bangkok yet or not?

Ask ChatBot AI. 

In my area still going strong despite catastrophic air quality...

All over by tomorrow, in Bangkok. YMMV in other places with regional festivals rolled into Songkran.

Bangkok's Songkran officially finished yesterday (13/14/15 April).  Any activities today are out of order!

I hope so but are they likely to carry on?

I took a walk on a few roads during the last 4 days (Thonglor, Ekamai, Onnut, around Phra Khanong). There were some groups on open pickup trucks and outside shophouses with water hoses and guns, but no one bothered me when they saw me dressed in smart casual clothes with leather shoes.

I live in the middle of lower Sukhumvit. Until yesterday I heard them screaming outside, playing with water.

No noise like that until now.

And about an hour ago it rained a little - yes, real rain from the clouds.

If the situation changes sometimes today and I hear that screaming noise again outside, then I will report it here.

Stay dry! 

Let's hope its gone.

Haven't seen a single Songkranner today. Normally in Bangkok it's full on on 13th & 14th, half hearted on 15th (except in places like Khao San), and done by 16th.

Yes.  Songkran in Bangkok is over.

thanks

I live in the province of Bangkok but on the eastern outskirts. I've lived there for 20 years and this year it's like a ghost town. There's hardly a car or motor bike around. No parties or water throwing not even loud music or loud mouthe ladies yelling at each other. Have Thais changed their ways? I'll reserve my judgement on that one.

No whisky or any other alcohol, and there is no balcony anywhere over me. 

A lot of Bangkok Thais bail out of the city and go back to their home provinces for Song Kran.

 

While there's always a lot of tourist-related SK activity going on here, in past years, other than that, lots of residential areas of BKK traditionally get pretty quiet because many of the locals have gone traveling.

Will it be over by the 20th?
