I will be taking the week of Songkran off and am looking for a fun holiday destination. Not too crazy with the water throwing but still some chance to party. Any suggestions?

my house on koh phan ngan. no water throwing necessary, though if you choose to join in, its over by late afternoon.

i fear neither of us is as attractive as our avatars suggest so my suggestion is prtty much moot.

I think you should visit the new Arts and Culture museum I read about on another thread

It's a few days after my wedding so there will be quite a few of us being silly. Best steer clear of kpg

Thanks for the suggestions all, I was looking for something a little more informative.

And nice offer ts, I am sure. But no thanks

HK, Air Asia have cheap flights and CX are announcing new packages on 15 March.

Where am I going? The same as last year, the year before that and that....... I'm going to lock the door after I've filled the fridge and go into hybination leaving the drunken Thais and over enthusiastic Farang to it.

I've now tried "played water" 5 straight years on SongKran, in Phuket, Bangkok (twice), Pattaya (twice) and Chiang Mai.

This year I think I'm going to try Khon Kaen.

My goal is to try a different place every year April 13-15, and then some years do the "extended play" in Pattaya April 16-19.

So far Chiang Mai and Pattaya have been my favorites.q

How wild is the water throwing in Cambodia?

staying home,learnt my lesson last year travelling to Isaan,the traffic on the roads were horrific,10 hours to drive from bangkok to chaiyaphum,songkran is a bit like easter in the west,long holiday,with long delays.

A nice beach, cheap, clean bungalows, fantasic seafood, motorc. for rent. A lot of coconut trees...you'll like it. There's no night life. Beautiful waterfalls, a lot of fun. Good luck from the lower North- east.. Mike
