Songkran

[James Peiris]

Water splashing is the normal custom during Songkran

 

Is there any city in Thailand that minimizes water splashing

 

If not..is there a nearby foreign country that does not have water splashing during songkran

 

Thanks very much

Bangkok is fine.  No need to go where they are "playing water".

  Hua Hin has minimal water splashing.  It's confined to certain designated areas, for the most part, and those are easily avoidable depending upon where you want to go and what you want to do.

 

  Malaysia has none of this nonsense.

Don't you shower?

Bang Saphan in PKK. Anyone wanting to get involved heads 25km north to Baan Krood where it's full on. Stay at Suan Luang beach and you'll never know its madness elsewhere.

Hang the water splashing, I want to know where is the best place to go to for "spaghetti strap tops"!

 

Mind you, spaghetti strap tops and water splashing, now there is a thought!

If it weren't for the blocks of ice in the water, I'd almost enjoy a day of it.
Not 3-4 days of it with all the ice.

Three places I've been during Songkran which are chaos, Pattaya, Kanchanaburi and Bang Saen. Pattaya being the worst, it's mayhem and drags on for a week to a greater or lesser extent. If you're a Songkran lover, Pattaya's definitely your place.
