It would start on the official holidays for Songkran and usually consist of drunk gangs of childish farangs at particular bars, having fun tinged with malicious intent. I do recall things used to die down at sunset back then, so popping back for a change of clothes was of some benefit...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That would be soi 7 or 8 bars, nobody would set up water buckets in front of the shops in most other area, South Pattaya and walking street would still be dry, coming from the dark side you could do yours shopping at Carrefour then or Tesco in North Pattaya without being bothered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lock yourself in your condo or go all in and enjoy yourself with water guns blazing. Other option of getting pissed off if people spray you is not really an option Oh don't make a fool of yourself old man please ! You could always hit them with ya walking stick , lock yourself in the condo GrandDad with a good book about the Psychometrics of Ageing 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm speaking from experience. When I got actively involved I loved it and had a great time with wet Thai girls everywhere. When I didn't get actively involved I hated it so for me better to just stay home for a week (early morning walks and night time were still okay) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And even then, apart from the odd rogue <deleted>, all the water throwing is finished by sundown. Obviously, I am not talking about the 19th here. Way too much whinging about Songkran in Pattaya IMO Totally wrong. A gang of water throwers usually hang out on 2nd road just before Walking Street and drench every tuktuk that goes by. So basically you can't get into central Pattaya unless you walk, while dodging the morons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
