Songkron Up Country Ban Pang Tawai

This did turn out to be a good day since the sun was shinning and Choa and I actually got out right in the middle of it. All the photos were taken on the main highway except the first one which was right down the road from where I live. As you can see, people will block one side of the highway which forces you to get into a single lane. That is when you get it. Up here car and motor bikes will stop so people can wish them a Happy Songkran. Nothing like in Pattaya where you have to be worried about being knocked off a bike with a water cannon. They don't do that here and that is one of the reasons it is just too much fun.

Ive never posted photos here before and I'm not even sure that it should be in this forum since they are not really gay related.. Well , maybe because of me :o

Hope I dont bore you with these

I agree, a welcome change from reading about, and thinking about the riots we had here in Bangkok during this past week.

We escaped Bangkok, to travel to Nakhon Nayok, on Monday, (about a two hour drive, excluding getting lost in the process) to stay at a resort and visit the beautiful waterfalls nearby.

And what we saw too, was the water-throwers actually hail over passing trucks laden with water-throwers... using the same gesture as hailing a cab(!), and more often than not, the truck would stop, and the two groups would absolutely drench each other, during prolonged battle...

Gay related... watching the young, slim, shirtless late teen boys dancing, erotically, while waiting for the next songkran water-battle... was absolutely stunning... making my heart skip more than a few beats... Now THAT was a very nice memory to keep for Songkran... Sorry, no pictures of the dancing... at nighttime, and a bit over-the-top for what my boyfriend would have "allowed".

but I DID manage to get my boyfriend to take a number of photos, with my arm around a number of stunning Thai men, at the waterfall...!!!

Now, back at Bangkok, ready to get back to the grind, the (seemingly impossible) task of teaching English, American style (!), to Thais of all ages, seven days a week...

I hope most of my fellow farangs were able to "escape the madness" also, and enjoy the true spirit of Songkran too!!

Nice pictures, John- looks like a pleasant group of people- and I'll add my vote to those who enjoy Songkran *outside* Bangkok.

It is a whole new world living up here compared to Bangkok or Pattaya. I am enjoying it :o
