The Start Of Water-throwing In Bangkok

[junkofdavid2]

Does it start today or tomorrow?

I prefer to take the songtaew/BTS although I also own/drive a car.

But if it starts today, car it is for me today!!

If you are on foot I would keep clear of Sukhumvit Soi 4 area particularly in front of the Nana Hotel/Nana Plaza.

It started Saturday in Chiang Mai.

Silom Road was being supplied with stacks of war material: Water, ice, guns, powder etc early this morning and by 11.00 am the skirmishes were already starting. Don't expect to visit Silom road and stay unscathed.

Just got back from Silom. easily over 10,000 people enjoying a happy Songkran!

Any idea when the water fights will stop completely - I believe I read that Thursday is the last day of the holiday although I know of one company who work internationally in Bangkok and they are returning to work on Thursday, most of their clients are abroad though.

Usually stops around the 16th.

The 15th is thke last day of Songkran so things should be dry on Friday the 16th.

we live outside of Bangkok and the water fighting here is pretyy tame. Would it be safe to take 6 or 7 kids down to Silom road so that they could really experience Songkran, I was wanting to take them tomorrow.

Thanks

If your kids are not scared of water splashing, its ok to come here. I just spend few our with my wife and two and half year old daughter in Silom road. A lot of people, cheerful and happy partying at there. You will get wet Main spot at Silom road is the part between Narathiwat road and Rama 4.

Happy Songkran all TV members!
