What Day Does Songkran Start In Koh Samui?

[Boater]

Hi

With Songkarn just around the corner, does anyone know what day it is starting in Koh Samui ?

For the last 3 years, it has always kicked off on a different day to the year before, and also the time length?

11eh 12 th and 13th

Judging by history, the 12th will be a slow start while the 13th will be the main day, on 14th all back to normal and no need for umbrella, condom etc.....

NO need for condoms on 14th? Something I havn't heard about ????????

[NALAK]

my experience is of soi reggae last year started about 9pm on the 12th, year before they tried to start on the 12th but the poice stopped it. always full on for the 13th always stopped by 14th. this year the goverment are taking a stong line on it so i would expect it to be just the 13th.

only my experience of the last few years maybe diffent in other areas of the island

Sonkran holiday this year falls on 13, 14, 15 April. Which are the main water days in samui? I was thinking it starts late on 12th and 13th is the main water play day. 14 should be mostly dry excelt for a few <deleted> who don't know when to stop.

Does anyone know for sure?

Songkram last year started in the afternoon at Soi Green Mango and was full on until the bars closed. This year will be the same with the Thais joining in on the 13th. After the 13th you can smack anyone in the mouth that soaks you. The Thai way of celebrating is great just a sprinkle of water and some talcum powder but as usual the farangs come along and ruin it.

The 12th full on by about 5pm

[Mark Wolfe]

Some kids will open their presents the night before (on the 12th) so expect a few errant sprays in the evening.

The 13th is the full-on water day.

The day after, everyone is dry again, no pun intended.

"Mark" my words....

[SamuiJens]

Didn't get the pun that was not intended, but I always stay dry!

[BigC]

I like chicken!

[Samuian]

they started here and there Yesterday, the 12th and now is 13th evening 18:32 and it's getting quiet, only drunks ;lurking here and there in front of same Entertainment - Venues...the sun has gone down nothing to warm up anymore - thais gettin' cold quickly and then: "Sanook over!"

[PoorSucker]

And we know here to stay away from....

Hope none gets electrocuted from water thrown on stage.

The neighbors might like it though.

Wow that is great, a real experience of Thai culture with internarional DJ"s & from 6pm when the official water throwing stops.

& wonder how they will get around alcohol ban (if it comes into effect),oh I forgot, no problem, this is Samui not Thailand.

Poor Samui, is it ever going to get a break?

[OnTheSnap]

How is that party going to differ from the two or three other all-night parties held in the same location every month?

Songkran is the best day of the year. I love it. It's such good fun!.... The past 3 years I've never had so much fun.

I guess it appeals to my inner-child... 8 )

[Birdman]

Songkran is the most needless day of the year. I don't care at all. It's such a brutal mess coming from a nice tradition!.... The past 23 years I've had so much fun on all the other days.

I guess it does not appeal to my inner-child...

[TopperHarley]

I really enjoy Songkran. It's a great laugh. Everyone is out having fun! Except Birdman, he's at home.

Wanna come? We can make cookies, have a nice cup of tea and later I can show you my stamp collection.

Birdman. Good Response!
