Songkran

[scoutman360]

I was standing next to a well-dressed Indian man with a bag full of shopping at Central on the sky train today and I said, "Good luck with that." He took a minute to understand me, and then asked me how to avoid the water madness. I said, "Run, and don't leave your room next time."

I never took part in the water splash games, but I am happy when other people are happy so Songkran atmosphere make me happy. I am also happy when I see little kids up on pickup truck or in the sidewalk throwing water to casual people.

 

We should relax our nerves and understand happiness.

My first day in Jomtien in 2005 was Sonkran .I walked the length of the beach to Soi Chayaprek not  seeing  a pistol. Did I dream this ??

I was in San Francisco in 1999 as a tourist. I swear, I didn't see a single homeless in the streets, and I have very thick glasses.

 

Jim, We are all victims of change somehow, don't?

Who sad bars ?

But the few bars just before the corner to Jomtien beach celebrated it.

But the shops,  people in pick up,  and outside condo building all played Songkran.

plus all the Thais that come down to Jomtien Songkran from Bangkok.

anything else sleep walker.
