Murgatroyd Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Obviously he thinks it will be easier to stop people from throwing water over eachother than it is to do anything about the protests... I reckon it will be songkran as usual at nana and soi cowboy... khao san rd is a bit closer to the main protest site... so maybe he thinks he'll have more authority there???

tranquillize Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 They can officially "cancel" songkran but that won't stop people from celebrating it per usual. Happy Songkran!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phaethon Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 The Songkran stage at Paragon is deserted, a sad sight. As is the shrine outside MBK, although the centre itself is open for business. The taxi ride from Phaya Thai to On Nut was punctuated with drenchings from people at the roadside, so business as usual for the 'ordinary folk'.

andyst Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 Festivities at KSR have been called off have they? Festivities around Khao Sarn have been cancelled according to this news source. However, I'm sure there will still be playing there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
