msg362 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Even tho' Chiang Mai is the power base of 'the big boss', it looks like the Thais here are going to celebrate Songkran in the usual way, no matter what is happening in the big mango. I've just driven round the moat ( in a car!). Lots of people already out, water being thrown, men in appalling Hawaian shirts. The authorities seem to have installed water taps so people can get really wet! Good to see the Thai sense of fun is still alive and well here Have a great Songkran everyone!

garyh Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Why wouldn't they have Song Krahn? after all it is a Chiang Mai festival anyway that Krung Thep decided they liked also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just1Voice Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I hate sonkranLoads of fools throwing buckets of water over people on motorcycles. The foreigners are the worst they just don't understand how to behave and when to stop. I agree that foreigners can be total idiots, but nothing compares to what happened to me today. I had to go to Airport Mall to take care of something. No problem as it's a straight shot on the highways all the way from my house to the mall. But on the way home, I'm cranking along at 110kph on my CBR 150, in the far right late, and some stupid kid runs out ONTO THE HIGHWAY to try and throw water on me!!!! He missed because I hit the brake, downshifted, and went around the other side of him, and really had to resist the urge to kick him in the process. Fortunately, for both of us, there was no other traffic nearby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tywais Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Dave.. where did you buy the Hormel veggie chili?? I live in CM and never seen it here.. I also have the Hormel veggie chili sitting in my cupboard and bought it a few weeks ago at Rimping near Airport Plaza. It's hit or miss though as to if it will be stocked at any moment.
