So, do you guys think the water throwing will stop by tomorrow in BKK?

I went out once in 3 days to Villa and got soaked. It borders on violent...and it's just not appreciated. I live in the 'burbs too, so it's not like I'm on Khao Saan with the dirty hippies. What do you think? Is it ok tomorrow or will the child-like behaviour persist through the weekend?

Should be over tomorrow, nothing going on in my area of Bangkok today>

Were got it till Tues in Pattaya apparently

Think yourself lucky we have it until the night of the 19th in Pattaya.

Edit....bartender100 you posted while i was typing.

Strongview...if you need to go somewhere maybe you can arrange for a Thai friend or family member to give you a ride or call one of the taxi companies. Of course, have them meet you where you won't get soaked (if possible since I don't know the area of the burbs you're referring to). If you're trying to get out on foot, good luck!

Why not do your shopping at night? Simple

During the evening??? Are you serious? Not only do you have idiots throwing water, you have DRUNK idiots throwing water.

Put your wallet in a plastic bag and your cellphone in another and try not to get too p1ssed off and kill someone. It's that or stay holed up for the duration.

Just wave them off with half furrowed brows. Works everytime... almost like I can control their weak minds like a Jedi. Note: young nieces and nephews are somehow immune to this power.

it's 1130 pm on 13 April in the Ramada Hotel bar in Bahrain and tutsi is minding his own business with a Guiness. Out of the corner of his eye he sees a sudden movement then aaarrrggg...water down the inside of the back of his shirt. He wheels to find the round brown smiling essan face of a local associate of the wife's...'happy sonklan, darling...'

Songkranned in a arabian Gulf backwater 6000 miles from Thailand...

sheeeit...

I don't think the time of day has anything to do with whether they are drunk or not - mostly on their last legs by evening.

And it does go quiet at sundown where I live.

On the 13th I was in my car behind a baht bus on Thaphraya road between Pattaya and Jomtien. There were five people in that bus one being a farang probably in his early sixties. Where the road turns into four lanes the baht bus pulled up beside a load of Thais who were throwing water. He looked at them very sternly and shook his finger at them. They proceeded to drench him. I thought he was going to have a stroke. His vehicle moved past that one only to have it catch up again. He was singled out and drenched again after yelling and trying to wave them off. You must be in a more civilized area.
